Zwingli

This work is a comprehensive introduction to Zwingli's thought for the student and general reader.

In it, Professor Stephens discusses the main areas of debate in Zwingli studies and engages with a variety of interpretations of Zwingli.

In the opening chapters, he 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 and work as a reformer.

There follow two chapters which 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 the views of other reformers.

A final chapter considers Zwingli as a reformer and theologian.

Here, and elsewhere, the author points to Zwingli's relevance today.
