This issue is 256 pp (approx. 226,534 words). The seventh issue of The Confessional Presbyterian journal features the Scottish Reformer John Knox on the cover. Some find the image a bit scary; certainly the Queen of Scots feared him. It is drawn from the picture imagining the first Protestant communion celebrated in Scotland. I like it. This was another packed issue but I would single out the translation of the preface to the Constance hymnal (c.1533) as perhaps the most significant single piece in the issue, presented in translation with the original text in photo-reproduction. The issue remains in print and available.
