God’s Watchman

History & Biography

“Professor Kyle's new book on John Knox as 'God's watchman' draws together a lifetime of research and presents the reader with a fresh and perceptive study of this controversial and paradoxical man. He offers a convincing explanation of how the contradictions surrounding the Scottish reformer can be reconciled by examining Knox's roles as a pastor, as well as a prophet, and preacher.”

John Eliot’s Puritan Ministry to New England “Indians”

History & Biography

“This fine and illuminating study of John Eliot’s ministry among the Algonquian people in the Massachusetts ‘praying towns’ challenges traditional images of what it meant to be a seventeenth-century puritan in New England. It also makes an important contribution to the general debate about modern concepts of ‘mission’ and ‘conversion’ to Christianity.”
