The First Blast of the Trumpet is a book written by John Knox, a Scottish Protestant reformer, in 1558. The book is a passionate call to arms against the Catholic Church and its leadership, arguing that they are corrupt and illegitimate. Knox argues that the Pope is the Antichrist and that the Catholic Church is a false church. He urges Protestants to take up arms against the Catholic Church and to overthrow its leaders. The book was highly controversial at the time, and Knox's ideas were seen as radical and dangerous. However, it had a significant impact on the Protestant Reformation and helped to shape the religious landscape of Europe. Today, The First Blast of the Trumpet is considered a classic of Protestant literature and a key text in the history of the Reformation.And as concerning the danger which may hereof ensue, I am not altogether so brutish and insensible, but that I have laid my account, what the finishing of the work may cost me for my own part. First, I am not ignorant how difficult and dangerous it is to speak against a common error, especially when the ambitious minds of men and women are called to the obedience of God's simple commandment. For to the most part of men, whatsoever antiquity has received appears lawful and godly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
