Looking for biography recommendations

[davdavis]

I would recommend John Knox by Rosalind Marshall, (5.99 kindle) I was looking for a good new bio. of Knox and wanted to find one from a secular perspective to get more of the historical background of the Scottish reformation, while trying to avoid the visceral hatred secular authors seem to have for him. I found Marshalls work to be balanced, informative, and fair. It dealt very fairly with the attacks on Knox and the author seemed to show a great deal of affection for her subject. A great antidote for the universally negative treatment of Knox in contemporary culture.

John Gill - I think I reviewed it here somewhere and Jonathan Edwards on Revival - the insight into his flock is fascinating (not sure if it qualifies as biography though)
