Can somebody recommend a good biography of John Knox?

[Braden]

Got one of John Calvin, and one of Charles Spurgeon, but they're both so abysmally dry and boring that I never finished them. I want to know more about Knox, but I'm going to try to make an informed decision this time.

And recommendations?

 

[Tom Hart]

Thomas M'Crie, The Life of John Knox.

 

[Gabriel Barnes]

Thomas M'Crie, The Life of John Knox.

I second that recommendation!!

Jane Dawson's John Knox (published by Yale University Press) is the best scholarly work on Knox - especially as it draws on recently discovered manuscript letters belonging to Christopher Goodman.

I really enjoyed Jasper Ridley's biography.

Trumpeter of God: A Biography of John Knox, by William Stanford Reid (1974).

Excellent, but a bit lost in the shuffle and overlooked these days.
