Architect of Reformation: An Introduction to Heinrich Bullinger 1504-1575

Heinrich Bullinger the friend and successor of Huldrych Zwingli led the Zurich church for almost fifty years after Zwinglis 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 Bullingers life and theology available in English. The book features an international collection of the worlds leading Bullinger and Reformation scholars addressing such categories as theology spirituality ecclesiology humanism politics and family. At the five-hundred-year anniversary of Bullingers 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.
