"A collection of prayers by the Scottish Reformer John Knox"--
Dieser Autor war eine Schlüsselfigur der schottischen Reformation und maßgeblich an der Umgestaltung der Kirche in Schottland beteiligt. Sein theologisches Denken wurde tief von führenden Reformatoren beeinflusst, und seine Arbeit prägte die calvinistische Theologie und die presbyterianische Kirchenverwaltung. Sein Einfluss erstreckte sich auch auf die Gestaltung offizieller liturgischer Texte und die Verfassung von Glaubensbekenntnissen und Kirchenordnungen. Seine Predigten und Schriften lösten tiefgreifende religiöse und politische Umwälzungen aus, die zum Sturz der katholischen Autorität und zur Gründung der protestantischen Kirche führten.
