“This is the gospel, that sins are remitted in the name of Christ; and no heart ever received tidings more glad.” Huldrych Zwingli's contribution to the Reformation may have been just as important as Luther and Calvin's, yet many still don't know much about him, let alone read his powerful works. Zwingli preached against ecclesial corruption, fasting, the requirement of celibacy on the clergy, the veneration of saints, excommunication, and more—setting the stage for the Swiss Reformation.
Huldreich Zwingli: The Reformer of German Switzerland is filled with rich insight into the life and theology of Zwingli and contains numerous illustrations and photographs. Zwingli expert and historian Samuel Jackson provides an in-depth biography of one of the Reformation's unsung heroes. Also included in this edition is John Martin Vincent's essay “An Historical Survey of Switzerland before the Reformation” and an additional chapter on Zwingli's theology by Frank Hugh Foster.
