With the exception of John Knox, no one did more to shape the Scottish Reformation than Andrew Melville. Remembered chiefly as a firebrand defender of radical Presbyterianism and reformer of the Scottish university system.
"In sum, this volume helps us to see that in the post-John-Knox-era of Scotland's late Reformation Andrew Melville was a more complex figure than the mere contrarian we have heard he was." - Kenneth J. Stewart, Calvin Theological Journal, 2016
"This excellent volume is another valuable contribution to the ongoing re-examination of Scotland's interwoven religious and political history of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. (...) This volume deserves to be praised as a tour de force of historiography that is a hugely valuable resource for the study of Melville and his milieu and which will repay the investment in its purchase." - Martin Ritchie, University of Edinburgh
