Alexander Knox ((1757-03-17)March 17, 1757–(1831-01-17)January 17, 1831) was an Irish lay theological writer.
[1][2] As a boy and young man, Alexander Knox befriended and corresponded with John Wesley.
Although he asserted his theological independence from Methodism, later, he published defences of Wesley against John Walker and Robert Southey.
Together with his friend John Jebb, bishop of Limerick, Knox developed a distinctive style of high-churchmanship (evidenced in his theology of sacraments) which also respected strains in evangelicalism, Methodism and seventeenth-century latitudinarianism.
