George Wishart: Scotland's Forerunner Reformer

On Today in Church His-Story (Episode 11) we trace the steps of a man who lived on the run. George Wishart was eventually captured and burnt at the stake, but not before leaving a lasting legacy of the power of preaching. A forerunner to the Scottish Reformation, Wishart preached the gospel with unflinching boldness and zeal. It was John Knox who served as his bodyguard carrying a sword for defense. It was also Knox who picked up the Sword of the Lord and continued preaching once Wishart was martyred. Learn why Wishart is a man worth emulating for preachers today.
