Tento autor bol kľúčovou postavou Škótskej reformácie, ktorý sa zaslúžil o zásadnú premenu cirkvi v Škótsku. Jeho teologické myslenie bolo hlboko ovplyvnené poprednými reformátormi a jeho diela formovali kalvinistickú teológiu a presbyteriánsku cirkevnú správu. Jeho vplyv sa prejavil aj v úpravách oficiálnych bohoslužobných textov a v písaní vierovyznania a cirkevných poriadkov. Jeho kázne a spisy podnietili hlboké náboženské a politické zmeny, ktoré viedli k odstráneniu katolíckej moci a k ustanoveniu protestantskej cirkvi.
