The Swiss Reformation was a seminal event of the sixteenth century
which created a Protestant culture whose influence spread across
Europe from Transylvania to Scotland. Offers the first
comprehensive study of the Swiss Reformation and argues that the
movement must be understood in terms of the historical evolution of
the Swiss Confederation, its unique and fluid structures, the
legacy of the mercenary trade, the distinctive character of Swiss
theology, the powerful influence of Renaissance humanism, and, most
decisively, the roles played by the dominant figures, Huldrych
Zwingli and Heinrich Bullinger. Marked by astounding creative
energy, incendiary preaching, burning political passions, peasant
revolts, and breath-taking scholarship, as well as by painful
divisions, civil war, executions and dashed hopes, the story of the
Swiss Reformation is told with extensive use of primary sources.
Explores the narrative of events before turning to consider themes
such as the radical opposition, church and community, daily life in
the Confederation, cultural achievements and the Swiss place in the
wider European Reformation world. -- .
