Terry Delaney (Mexico, Missouri), has been reading the first volume of the recently reprinted 6-volume set of The Works of John Knox, and says on his Christian Book Notes blog that ‘the language barrier may be tough at first, but the reader would do well to scale that barrier and seek to understand Knox on his own terms rather than through the lens of a biographer.’
