Description:This book provides an introduction to Zwingli's thought. It discusses the main areas of debate in Zwingli studies, and engages with a variety of interpretations of Zwingli. In the opening chapters the book places Zwingli in the context of Zurich and Switzerland in the 16th century, describes the various influences on Zwingli's development, and outlines his life as a reformer. There follow two chapters that introduce the main themes in Zwingli's thought, and these are related both to the life and work of the man himself as well as to the views of other reformers. A final chapter considers Zwingli as a reformer and theologian. Here and elsewhere in the book, the author points to Zwingli's relevance today. There is a short glossary of theological terms.
