The Theology of Huldrych Zwingli by W P Stephens
This comprehensive study of the theology of the Swiss religious reformer, Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531), presents Zwingli primarily in his own light, while dealing with his relations with others, in particular the influence of Erasmus and Augustine, his independence from Luther, and some of the differences between Zwingli and Luther. It engages with the main secondary studies in German, French and English.
`Highly recommended, this work is appropriate for graduate students and upper-division under-graduates' Choice, American Library Association `Stephens's lucid commentaries and paraphrases reveal Zwingli's virtuosity' Journal of Ecclesiastical History
'Professor Stephens has put English readers in his debt by his exposition based on detailed study' James K. Cameron, University of St Andrew's, The Heythrop Journal
'The issue of a paperback edition ... makes more widely available one of the most important works of recent British Reformation scholarship. Its lucid exposition of Zwingli's religious ideas ... valuable indexes and comprehensive annotated bibliography make it an invaluable resource to anyone approaching study of this Reformer, particularly for the first time.' Alister McGrath, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, History
'until the appearance of Stephens's book no comprehensive account on a full scale has been written ... Stephens's account of the theology is now the best available comprehensive study in English ... He has shown no serious prejudices, and he has tried to include all aspects and variations in Zwingli's work. It is a worthy study.' Basil Hall, Journal of Theological Studies
'Readers will not find in print a fairer treatment of Zwingli, whose name is often taken in vain, especially on the Lord's Supper. This is a book for students of theology and church history, and others with a keen interest in the Reformation.' David F. Wright, University of Edinburgh, The Evangelical Quarterly
