In John Knox: Stalwart Courage, Douglas Wilson staunchly defends this staunch reformer, not only lauding his stalwart courage, but also upholding his much-neglected gentler virtues - love, mercy, tenderness, and humility. At Knox’s funeral, one of his friends said, “Here lies one who neither flattered nor feared any flesh.” John Knox sought the approval of neither commoner nor queen, but only his God.

John Wycliffe, the morning star of the Reformation, gave us the first English translation of the Bible. A noted scholar and teacher at Oxford, John's reliance on the Bible as the sole source of truth stood in stark contrast to the teachings of the Catholic church.
