Luther, Calvin, Knox – major Reformers in Europe in the 16th century. John Wilkinson has written the first detailed account of their medical history. He served in Kenya as a medical missionary and in Scotland as a consultant physician.

From the Foreword by Prof. David F. Wright: “Dr Wilkinson’s studies of the medical histories of three of the most influential Reformers makes an important contribution to cutting them down to size. His expertise in both medicine and theology is here joined by an historical sensibility. His investigation shows how far short all three fell from full well-being, and helps us understand their emotional and psychological history also.”
