Product Description
by Bruce Gordon (Author), Emidio Campi (Author)
Heinrich Bullinger, the friend and successor of Huldrych Zwingli, led the Zurich church for almost fifty years after Zwingli's death and was largely responsible for the construction of the Reformed church in the sixteenth century. Nevertheless, Bullinger has often been called the forgotten Reformer of the sixteenth century. Architect of Reformation is the first broad introduction to Bullinger's life and theology available in English. The book features an international collection of the world's leading Bullinger and Reformation scholars addressing such categories as theology, spirituality, ecclesiology, humanism, politics, and family. At the five-hundred-year anniversary of Bullinger's birth, Architect of Reformation gives the often-overlooked Swiss Reformer his long-overdue and much-deserved recognition as a leading figure among second generation Reformers. Bruce Gordon is reader in modern history and deputy director of the Reformation Studies Institute at the University of St. Andrews. Emidio Campi is professor of church history in the theological faculty of the University of Zurich and director of the Institute for Swiss Reformation history.
