Author Description

"Martin Greschat's work is the first biography of the Protestant reformer to be written in seventy years. Now translated into English, this work - the most comprehensive account of Bucer's place within the context of the history of the Reformation - transcends normal biographies by providing much of interest in relation to the social and political contexts of the sixteenth century. Greschat's Martin Bucer is a splendid contribution to Reformation studies."--BOOK JACKET.
