Resist Tyrants, Obey God: Lessons Learned from the Life and Times of John Knox

Resist Tyrants, Obey God: Lessons Learned from the Life and Times of John Knox

By Jacob Tanner

John Knox was one of the most remarkable pastors, thinkers, and reformers that the West has ever known. Born in the turbulent era of the 16th century, Knox became known as a bold defender of the Christian faith who suffered greatly for the sake of the gospel of Christ and His Church. Yet, despite immense conflict with the Roman papacy, various kingdoms, and even his own countrymen, Knox made it abundantly clear that he would resist tyranny and obey God at every turn. Half biography, half historical theology, Jacob Tanner examines the life and times of this courageous reformer to see what modern Christians can learn from him.

“You hold in your hands a very dangerous book. Jacob Tanner’s Resist Tyrants, Obey God: Lessons from the Life and Times of John Knox will challenge you to commit the cardinal sin of our post-Christian age: to live as if you actually believe that Christ reigns supreme over all of life.”
