Book Overview

The Life and Times of Ulric Zwingli by Johann Jacob Hottinger is a comprehensive biography of the Swiss theologian and reformer Ulric Zwingli. The book covers Zwingli's life from his birth in 1484 to his death in 1531, and explores his upbringing, education, and religious beliefs. Hottinger provides a detailed account of Zwingli's role in the Protestant Reformation, including his opposition to the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences and his advocacy for the use of scripture as the sole authority in matters of faith. The book also delves into Zwingli's political activities, including his involvement in the Swiss Confederation and his support for the establishment of a Swiss national church. Throughout the biography, Hottinger draws on primary sources, including Zwingli's own writings and correspondence, to provide a rich and nuanced portrait of the man and his times. The Life and Times of Ulric Zwingli is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Protestant Reformation and the development of Protestant theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
