Overview

R. Christoffel’s study offers a look at the life of the great Swiss reformer, situated within the context of the Reformation’s rise in Switzerland. Discussing “not only the Reformer himself … much light is [also] thrown upon his coadjutors in the work of Reformation, upon the rise and history of the great movement itself, and upon the manners and modes of thinking of the times which it took place.” Attempting to make the work as “autobiographical” in character as possible, Christoffel draws upon extracts from the Zwingli’s correspondence in creating what is also a personal study that spans from the “interior of his domestic life” to the “arena of his mighty contests” and the “vineyard in which he labored.”
