HOW THE SCOTS INVENTED...WORLD is one of the best books I've ever read! This is the first time I've ever heard anyone mention it. These history videos are excellent!
Well ladies, I am a descendent of William Wallace, born in Bannockburn where King Robert Bruce beat the English in 1314. Thank you for these lectures Professor Gore.You talked so much about Mary, without mentioning Stirling Castle. Visiting there brings all these characters to life. I hope you have had the chance.
Ahh a Loudon. Yeah. I am a descendent of Wallaces Irish lieutenant. Both houses still exist and hold estates. I am assuming you live in Ayrshire. You assume I live in Leinster. Ahhh. Well met.
Mr Gore, I know little about you, though I am sure I will learn ☺️ in the course of watching the video to the end; I am only at the beginning. But looking through the viewers' Comments, may I applaud your taking the trouble to answer those Comments, wherever appropriate.
How the Scots Invented the Modern World should be required reading for all secondary school students. Content should be tested for graduation. This is the laying of the foundation of western civilzation.
so glad I found these. You have a passion for church history! Wish I could download this straight into my brain. Saved during Covid lockdowns and about 8 months later fully reformed, Thankful for all the reformers and definitely want to learn more and more. You should collaborate with someone like Steve Lawson and produce some reformer documentaries. There's a decent one on Luther but Calvin needs his own as well as Tyndale, Hus, Wycliffe, Knox. Soli Deo Gloria and thanks again Bruce
@@GoreBruce watching your Calvin 2 parter now. Have you read Boettner's book Reformed Doctrine of Predestination? Wonderful chapter on Calvinism in history. Bless you
Thank you! Great video, I'm looking into my ancestry, this is a good source of material. I'm interested in church history, especially Scottish history.
You have a wonderful grasp of rennaisance history. I have learned so much from your lessons. That is where we have a difference of opinion. I have always believed John Knox was a less than loveable person. I think he could have been more temperant to Mary Queen of Scots. Mary was a good person. She knew little of religion ouside of her Catholic background. Thrown into Scotland, she immediately ran afoul of her brother and John Knox. I have a romantic belief system when it comes to Mary.
Baptized in Knox Crescent Church in the 1940s, raised atheist, socialist. Only realized recently the significance of JK. Your first-rate, clear introduction to the topic compels me to read further. 👏 thank you. Keep talking.
William Kirkcaldy of Grange was used as a spokesperson for the Lords of the Congregation in his dealings with the Elizabethan government. Secretary Cecil's English agent, Sir Henry Percy, Captain of Norham Castle and brother to the 7th Earl of Northumberland, served as liaison between Kirkcaldy and Cecil. Owing to the fact that Kirkcaldy was an experienced soldier, who fought on the French side before the Protestant revolt, he was highly valued for his military skills. If you go on the website of internet archive, you will find biographies of William Kirkcaldy of Grange.
Thank you so much for this series on Church History. I live in Texas where the Catholic Church is trying to take over Protestant Churches. We have the bizarre situation of Italian Catholics trying to suggest they represent the Presbyterian Church. My family are long time Presbyterians and Calvinists and we are constantly being attacked by Black Presbyterian Catholics who feel that all Presbyterians must be Black and Catholic and Homosexual. John Knox is turning over in his grave, needless to say. This strange mix of racism and Catholicism is also taught by our preachers in Presbyterian Churches. So whatever you can do to educate people is most appreciated. I always pray for non violent cooperation between all faiths, but the Catholic Church particularly in Texas is using our medical system to violently persecute Protestants by poisoning them with diseases and then bankrupting their families through medical bills and killing people through disease. They gleefully use this medical persecution as their modern form of burning people at the stake which they feel they can get away with, avoiding criminal prosecution through deceit. Meanwhile our Presbyterian Preachers smile and preach as if this persecution is all just fine as they become Catholic servants to a new Catholic economic aristocracy. Thank you for this history. I pray that all people find a way to restore Democratic freedom of religion to America and return our medical system to devotion to healing and compassion, rescuing it from the religious sadists who pervert it into persecution. Anything you can do to expose these modern medical and religious crimes would be greatly appreciated.
Vara Sue Tamminga Nothing is too wicked for Satan! We must remember that he is a defeated foe and if we resist him, he will flee. Use the weapons Christ gave us... the sword of the Spirit, which is His Word, and prayer. If you're the only one who sees this, then you must be the prayer warrior. The battle is the Lord's, yet you are called to stand firm. Read Ephesians chapter 6 about a dozen times, then pray, pray, pray! Our prayers are precious to God!
"Give me Scotland ... or I die!" Great stuff. Bruce reveals his bias for swarthy protestants here. As I understand it, the Stewarts were originally Normans, some say even Scythians, who had conquered in 1066, and had been made "Stewards" of Scotland, or caretaker kings. Very little gets done, in history, without a Stewart to keep the rabble in line, and praying for earthly salvation from the tyranny of wicked Kings.
Suppose Elizabeth I chose to go with the Catholic and Rome, what would have happened? Henry VIII’s first marriage was never annulled and a divorce was not granted by the pope. That means his marriage to Anne Boleyn was not valid and Elizabeth illegitimate. Would she then be eligible to the English crown? So could Elizabeth I for political reason even consider Catholicism? I am sure there could have been loopholes, but it is a fun thought experiment. I am really appreciating this serie on church history. Thank you!
@@GoreBruce ...Sorry if my casual comment seemed rude or pedantic. Perhaps you could answer a question for me...A prominent commentator on politics suggested that there was an ancestral link ranging from Trump...to John Knox. Can there be any truth in this?
Well, it depends on the Presbyterian! Traditional Presbyterians embrace the doctrine, which was also affirmed by Luther in 'Bondage of the Will,' and Calvin (and Augustine, and even by Thomas Aquinas, though the Catholic church ultimately rejected that aspect of the thought of Thomas).
@@GoreBruce interesting. I’m not sure Luther’s understanding of predestination was quite the same as Knox or Calvin’s, but I’ve always had difficulty understanding the concept in the first place!
Oh, as a Lutheran, you should certainly read Luther's powerful work. Philip Melanchthon later softened up this part of Luther's teaching, but Luther himself was emphatic, even exceeding Calvin in his ferocious emphasis on the point!
@@GoreBruce he believed that a select few people were predestined for salvation and there was nothing they could do to stop it? It always seems like free will is emphasized with regard to the choice of faith in Luther’s teachings
I'm sorry but I have another opinion, not saying that your opinion is wrong but adding some information. John Knox hated Mary Stuart not because of her government, but most because she was a woman monarch, what for him was an unnatural function for women, so it was a sort of personal. That man also never had any royal blood, perhaps that is why he was so envious of things that did not belong to him. He would never stop until she was withdraw of the throne. He also hated Elizabeth 1 because she was a monarch women, which make even more suspicious if there was any Knox hands in the attempt of assassination (probably) on Elizabeth 1, which makes my mind think, was Mary really responsible for that assassination attempt? Ops, correcting you, Mary loved France, but her heart was Scottish.
@@GoreBruce check out my Loudon hill video i live not far from there the site of three battles. One for the Covenanters, one for Robert the Bruce and one for William Wallace but the Wallace battle is contested by some historians but is mentioned by blind harry in his poetry/songs although Blind harry wrote about these things 100 years after the fact
Deeper even that this - Lord have Mercy. Thank you Mr. Bruce Gore.

Thank you! I'm a Presbyterian from Brazil and I love learning more about our Faith and History.
Blessings brother. Pray for your fellow-Presbyterians in the States.

Haven’t been in lectures as good as these since I attended Prov seminary in Canada 29 years ago. Thank you sir!
Thank you!
Bruce... Excellent session! I don't ever want to be a "Parrot" or "just share pious verses". You keep me on the Balance Beam of The Faith.
John was my great x6 grandfather thank you for this
Wow! Royalty! Thanks for checking in!
Great teacher! Loved this, thanks!
Re: Sunday school lesson, AMEN. You are a good example and help! I hope I am able to finish the good fight.
bravo love great sermons first, great university lectures second. sometimes u even manage to have the 2 merge seamlessly

Same
Just a point - the image you've used for James IV is a portrait of James VI, a very different king!
Bruce Gore Love your teachings. Have gotten a lot from them. Have you ever read the Scottish Declaration of Independence? Very interesting document.
Thank you. I will follow up on that!
Great presentation

@Kenny MacDonald well they didn’t have Netflix then. 😂
John Knox changed the world
Baptized in Knox Crescent Church in the 1940s, raised atheist, socialist. Only realized recently the significance of JK. Your first-rate, clear introduction to the topic compels me to read further. 👏 thank you. Keep talking.
can I get some prayers pls 🙏 I'm trying to get into a biblical college in sept this year in Glasgow
Indeed!
May I ask a question? What role did scottish politician William Kirckaldy play in The Reformation? Dies somebody know?
Wikipedia (and sources cited therein) provides a decent article on the man. Suggest you look there.
William Kirkcaldy of Grange was used as a spokesperson for the Lords of the Congregation in his dealings with the Elizabethan government. Secretary Cecil's English agent, Sir Henry Percy, Captain of Norham Castle and brother to the 7th Earl of Northumberland, served as liaison between Kirkcaldy and Cecil.

Catholicism is roman paganism. It is the Whore of Babylon not Christianity.
Very few of us preach this truth. Thanks for being one of them. May the Lord Jesus bless you!
I call good, old fashioned, TEXAS, BULLSHIT.
Dr? Pastor? Mr? Gore, is this series copyrighted and is it available to own?

+Bruce Gore thank you sir! I will.
Why do you have a picture of James VI/I when you are talking about James IV?
The "weather" sure was coincidentally placed, no?
"Give me Scotland ... or I die!"

Can't argue with that!
That's the soup I've been looking for thank you.

Thank you for flexing thought
Who were Sir Francis Bacon's parents ?
I think, given his scottish background, one might liken President Donald John Trump to John Knox as "He that feared no Man"
I wouldn't argue with that, although John Knox would make Donald Trump look like the most polite guy you'd ever met!
As a Brit - i found the pronunciation of Tudor very odd....We say... tUdor not tOOdor.
Sorry. I'm pronouncing it the way I was taught in an American grad school.
@@GoreBruce ...Sorry if my casual comment seemed rude or pedantic.
Perhaps you could answer a question for me...A prominent commentator on politics suggested that there was an ancestral link ranging from Trump...to John Knox. Can there be any truth in this?
Well, they have this in common. Both were highly controversial in their day! Beyond that, I don't know.
Were the Scotts then the primary movement in protestantizing England
2/a gbh no
Mary came back to Scotland in 1561, not 1560.
Robert the Bruce did have a son - David II who succeeded his father in 1329

'Reek' not wreak !! (@ 37mins)
Reek is Scottish language for a stench.
Anyone over two years old knows that. Thank you for letting us know you are so smart.
Lutheran here: do you Presbyterians still believe in predestination?
Well, it depends on the Presbyterian! Traditional Presbyterians embrace the doctrine, which was also affirmed by Luther in 'Bondage of the Will,' and Calvin (and Augustine, and even by Thomas Aquinas, though the Catholic church ultimately rejected that aspect of the thought of Thomas).
