This two-volume work describes the activities of Martin Bucer, reformer in Strasbourg, and the influence he exerted on his contemporaries. The collection brings together 60 contributions in English, German and French by leading Bucer and 16th-century scholars. They highlight Bucer's profile and style, his theology, his attitude towards social questions of his time, his work in the church, his relationships with contemporaries in the city of Strasbourg and all over Europe, his position on contemporary issues and how his peers perceived him - in short, the many facets of the thought, actions and influence of an important but largely neglected 16th-century reformer. They also provide insight into the victories and defeats of Protestantism and on Bucer's role in the progress of the Reformation in Europe.
