EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the passionate intensity of John Knox's sermon before the Lords of the Congregation in St. Andrews, Scotland, in 1559. John Knox (1513-1572), a key figure in the Scottish Reformation, is depicted standing before the assembled nobles and clergy, his hands raised in fervent gesticulation as he delivers his impassioned message. The somber, dimly lit chamber, with its ornate wood-paneled walls and stained glass windows, adds to the sense of solemnity and importance. Knox's fiery sermons, which called for the abolition of the Mass and the adoption of Protestant reforms, were instrumental in shaping Scotland's religious landscape and cementing its Protestant identity. This historic moment, captured in this 1859 print, represents a pivotal moment in Scotland's religious history and the enduring influence of John Knox's reformist ideas.
