The great Scottish reformer John Knox was born in 1505 in the village of Gifford near Harrington, in East-Lothian, 16 miles East of Edinburgh, where he went to the excellent grammar school. Knox attended the universities of Glasgow and St Andrews. Here he learnt all about the works of Augustine and became accomplished in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He was ordained a Catholic priest around 1530, but soon became an enthusiastic follower and bodyguard of the learned reformer George Wishart.

Wishart was burnt at the stake for his Protestant beliefs and Knox had to be restrained from sharing a similar fate. He became the Protestant minister in St Andrews where in 1547 he was captured by the Catholic authorities. He endured nineteen months of galley-slavery on French ships that permanently affected his health.

Through the intervention of the English government he was released and became a minister of the Church of England, where in 1552 he was involved in producing The Articles Concerning an Uniformity in Religion which formed the basis of the Thirty-nine articles of Anglicanism.

Knox became one of the six chaplains to King Edward VI. However the latter was succeeded by the devout Catholic Queen Mary, who in her short reign, managed to burn at the stake more than 300 heretics, such as Thomas Cranmer and Hugh Latimer. Knox saw the writings on the wall, decided that England had become too hot under his feet and went to Europe. Here he accepted a call in 1555 to the refugee English congregation in Geneva, established by Calvin. Four years later he returned to Scotland. Here Protestantism became the national religion in 1560 with Knox as leader and minister of St Giles in Edinburgh.

Queen Mary of Scotland, however, was a staunch Catholic and made the life of Knox and other reformers rather miserable. She disliked him for being too plain-spoken and not enough of a smooth-tongued courtier. Knox became involved in many controversies with her, so much so that he had to take refuge in St Andrews not once, but several times.

He survived all these calamities and escaped and died in Edinburgh on November 24, 1572. He was buried in an unmarked grave in the graveyard of St Giles. He left behind a young second wife, Margaret Stewart with her three daughters (the first wife, Catherine Bowes had died and had two sons with him). He wrote extensively and it would be interesting to see how these horrible experiences of persecution coloured his and his mentor Calvin’s biblical interpretations. In a letter (20 January 1555) from Calvin to Knox he commiserates with him as ‘being pulled violently from your country.’

Knox has been reborn by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in the form of TheRealDeal to clense the blessed landscape of the Carolina Huddle.

I'll tell you why:

1. He has the free time required, just look at his post count.

2. He is very even keeled when it comes to the heated discussions.

3. He made a graph depicting Huddlers stance on politics

4. He is well liked by everybody so any justice handed down by him would be accepted without any bitching.

5. He has never insulted or hit on boo.

6. It would balance teh huddle because Salty is a booty kind of guy and Biscuit likes bewbies.
