Summary "John Cheap, the Chapman's Library. Vol. 2: Religious and Scriptural" by Graham is a collection of chapbooks written in the late 19th century. This anthology focuses on significant figures and events associated with the Scottish Reformation, primarily delving into the lives of notable religious leaders such as John Knox, John Welch, and Alexander Peden. The themes center around struggles for faith, the fight against Catholicism, and the personal experiences of these reformers. The opening of the work begins with a transcriber’s note, indicating that the text is a collection of chapbooks and detailing formatting conventions. The first significant narrative focuses on John Knox, detailing his early life, education, and the context of religious turmoil in 16th-century Scotland. The text describes the corruption of the clergy, Knox’s rise to prominence, his passionate sermons, and his critical role in steering Scotland towards Protestantism. Histories of other figures like John Welch and Alexander Peden are also outlined, setting the stage for a rich exploration of Scottish ecclesiastical history and the lives intertwined with the pursuit of reform and spirituality.
