John Knox |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| John Knox introduced the strict codes of Calvinist doctrine to Scotland. In contrast to John Calvin’s focus on the bourgeoisie, however, Knox preached the idea of “the Elect” to the peasant masses of 16th-century Scotland. Later called Presbyterianism, this Protestant religion became a symbol of Scottish nationalism in the struggle against Catholic monarchs. | ||||||
