Zwingli: Third Man of the Reformation by Jean Rilliet (English) Paperback Book

Description: Zwingli by Jean Rilliet A comprehensive analysis of Zwinglis life and his role in the reformation, in Switzerland and beyond FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Ulrich, or Huldrych, Zwingli of ZÜrich is the great unknown of the Reformation in Europe, and yet his influence and ideas have penetrated into every part of the world where the Reformed tradition has been planted. He was neither a passionate man of religion like Luther, nor a superb dialectician like Calvin. But in his lucid radicalism and belief in thorough reform in Church doctrine as well as in government, Zwingli stands with his two more famous brethren as a Father of the Reformation.First published in English in 1964, Jean Rilliets biography places Zwingli in the context of Swiss church history, as well as that of the sixteenth-century upheaval of which he was a part. Covering every aspect of Zwinglis career, with detailed discussion of his more influential writings, the picture that emerges is one of a fighting prophet, unremittent in his search for God in this most turbulent of times. Author Biography Jean Rilliet (1908-1980) was a Swiss reformed theologian. After studying in Strasbourg, Lausanne, Glasgow and Basel, he served as a pastor in Switzerland and abroad, and from 1964 at the Cathedral of St Pierre in Geneva. His doctoral thesis, on Alexandre Vinet, was completed in 1938, and in 1940 he was appointed lecturer at the University of Geneva, with research interests in Calvin, Barth and Ignatian theology. Besides his academic work, Rilliet wrote extensively on religion for the Geneva Tribune. Table of Contents Authors Foreword 9Introduction: The Swiss Background 11Part One: The Formative Years1.

"An exceedingly well planned volume, which, after an introductory essay on the Swiss people, takes the reader through every important aspect of Zwinglis career, including Marburg with all of its political and theological difficulties, and even manages to seize upon the appearance of Zwinglis Commentarius de vera et false religione (1525) to offer a descriptive review of Zwinglis theology in the course of some thirty pages...A sound, eminently readable, even absorbing biography, that teaches us more about Zwingli, and does him greater justice, than any comparable volume I am aware of." - Bart Thompson, in Church History.2. "Jean Rilliets Zwingli: Third Man of the Reformation fills a significant gap in historical knowledge by illuminating the life of a key yet often overlooked figure. If you want to get to know more about this bold and fearless reformer, this book is an indispensable resource!" - Marc Daniel Rivera In KristiyaKnow, June 2024.
