Growing up in a small town in southeast Scotland, John Knox could never have imagined that he would play a significant role in a powerful movement that transformed his country. From tutor to bodyguard to slave on a French galley, he was involved in some of the most crucial events of Scottish history before he turned 35. After a brief time in England, where he served as a preacher and pastor and met his wife, he moved to Germany and Geneva, only to be called back to Scotland to inspire a powerful reformation. Find out more about this enthralling story as Lucas, Linus, and Emma talk to Dr. Ewen Cameron, the Sir William Fraser Professor of Scottish History and Palaeography at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
Our friends at Reformation Heritage Books have provided two copies of Simonetta Carr’s book about John Knox for our listeners. Register here for the opportunity to win a copy.

In 1536, an English priest and scholar was led from his cell to a place of execution, where he was burned to death on a pile of dry wood. His crime? He translated the Bible into English. His name is William Tyndale. Why would an esteemed scholar put himself in such danger just to see the Bible placed in the hands of all English people? And why would the government hunt him down and kill him? Find out more as Lucas, Linus, and Grace chat with Emily Lucas, tutor in Church History at Union School of Theology in London.

In December 1560, Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre, displayed great courage by publicly professing her Reformed faith at a time when the larger Kingdom of France, to which Navarre was strongly connected, was firmly Roman Catholic. Join Lucy, Trinity, and Christian as they discover what happened after Jeanne's profession of faith and how the Reformation in France progressed for a while and was eventually suppressed by the government. Their guest today is Christine Farenhorst, author of Wings Like a Dove: The Courage of Queen Jeanne D'albret, published by P&R Books.
Thanks to P&R Publishing, we have two copies of Christine Farernhorst's book to offer our listeners. Register here for the opportunity to win one. 

When we think of the Protestant Reformation, we usually think of countries like Germany, Switzerland, England, and the Netherlands. We rarely think of Italy. And yet, a Reformation started there too, but was quickly crushed by the Roman Catholic Church. What most people don't know is that teachings like justification by faith were not officially condemned by the Roman Catholic Church until 1547. And yet, many people who believed in that teaching in Italy were imprisoned or killed before then. Learn more about the intriguing story of the Italian Reformation as Lucy, Trinity, and Christian talk to Rev. Michael Brown, pastor of Chiesa Riformata Filadelfia in Milan, Italy.
One of the Italian Reformers mentioned in the podcast was Peter Martyr Vermigli. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Reformation Heritage Books, we are pleased to offer two copies of Simonetta Carr's book about Vermigli to our listeners. Register here for the opportunity to win a copy!
