The First Blast of the Trumpet against the monstrous regiment of Women by John Knox
QR code
"The First Blast of the Trumpet against the monstrous regiment of Women" by John Knox is a polemical work published in 1558. Written by a Scottish Protestant reformer in exile, it argues that female rule contradicts natural order and biblical teaching. Knox targets the Catholic queens governing Scotland, England, and Ireland, using them as examples to oppose women bearing authority over men. The controversial treatise challenges contemporary theological views and reflects the
intense religious and political conflicts of the Reformation era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
