Life of Ulrich Zwingli, Swiss Reformer, and A Biographical Sketch of John Oecolampadius
This brief hagiographical work, consisting of a life of Zwingli in eight chapters and a succinct portrait of Oecolampadius, his friend and compatriot in the first generation of the Swiss Reformation, was first issued in the 1827 and later reprinted in 1841 as a Presbyterian denominational publication, with the aim of introducing Christian youth to the courageous witnesses who stood at the headwaters of the Reformed tradition. An expedient introduction for more mature readers as well, it corrects a number of mischaracterizations of the Zurich Reformer in very short order, while the concise sketch of the Basel Reformer, despite its tantalizing brevity, is nevertheless an obligatory source for Oecolampadius research. It is in the service of both aims—a sympathetic introduction and reconsideration of Zwingli and the ready availability of a longstanding artifact of Oecolampadiana in English—that this short work reappears in the present Curate Edition.
