註釋"The Scottish Reformation would have taken place without John Knox, but without doubt it would have been longer in its birth pangs and may well have finally appeared in a different form. Knox was at once the Reformation's creator and spiritual leader and he was instrumental, not simply in banishing Catholicism, but in creating the new Church which took its place. This Church and its doctrines he created and refined from the Helvetic Confession preached by Wishart, the Justification of Faith of Balnaves and his own experiences in Frankfurt and Geneva. His first precept throughout all his arguments was a simple one, that the truth was the word of God as found in scripture, and that all of humanity relied on Christ's intercession for salvation, as laid out in the Gospel of St John, chapter 17, his 'anchor'."--BOOK JACKET.
