The letters of John Knox provide a unique glimpse into his character and temperament, often more revealing than his formal writings. To fully appreciate the rich allusions within, one must consider his domestic life during his time in England. While residing in Berwick, Knox developed a close relationship with Mrs. Bowes, and a deep bond blossomed with her daughter, Marjory, with the mother’s enthusiastic approval for their union. However, this match faced fierce opposition from Marjorys relatives, particularly Sir Thomas Bowes, a notable diplomat who believed that an alliance with an obscure Scot would tarnish the family’s reputation. Knox’s responses to this unkind treatment were marked by a blend of dignity, self-respect, and Christian humility. Though their marriage was delayed, he continued to affectionately address Mrs. Bowes as mother in his letters. Eventually, when it became clear that her family would not relent, the couple married, just before Knox’s flight to the continent following Mary’s accession. His devoted wife shared in his trials in both Switzerland and Scotland, tragically passing away in Scotland at the close of 1560. - Summary by Thomas ThomsonCopyright Religious Texts and Commentary キリスト教 スピリチュアリティ 世界 聖職・福音主義
