W. P. Stephens – författare

This book, by a leading Reformation scholar, is the only comprehensive introduction to Zwingli's thought for the student and general reader. In it Professor Stephens discusses the main areas of debate in Zwingli studies, and engages with a variety of interpretations of Zwingli. In the opening chapters he places Zwingli in the context of Zurich and Switzerland in the sixteenth century, describes the various influences on Zwingli's development, and outlines his life as a reformer. There follow two chapters which introduce the main themes in Zwingli's thought, and these are related both to the life and work of the man himself as well as to the views of other reformers. A final chapter considers Zwingli as a reformer and theologian. Here, and elsewhere in the book, Professor Stephens points to Zwingli's relevance today. There is a short glossary of theological terms.

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.

Festschrift in Honour of Emeritus Professor James Atkinson This volume commemorates the eightieth birthday of James Atkinson, a distinguished Reformation scholar who was Professor of Biblical Studies in the University of Sheffield. It reflects the relationship between the Bible, the Reformation, and the Church in his life and work. Fourteen friends and former colleagues contribute to it. Biblical scholars link the Bible to the Reformation and the Church, and Reformation scholars link the Reformation to the Bible and to the Church. In addition Anthony Thiselton writes a wide-ranging appreciation of James Atkinson. Three biblical scholars, Kingsley Barrett, David Clines, and Anthony Thiselton, deal with the relationship of the Bible to the Reformation - through subjects as diverse as Paul and the Introspective Conscience, Job, and I Corrinthians - and John Rogerson with some of the issues in biblical criticism raised in Colenso''s correspondence with Kuenen. Reformation scholars from Britain and abroad examine the Reformation in Germany, Switzerland, and England, in relation to the Bible or to the Church. Four of them, Benjamin Drewery, Peter Stephens, Robert Stupperich, and Robert Walton write on the Continental Reformation - Was Luther a heretic? Zwingli and the Salvation of the Heathen, Luther''s Itio Spiritualis, and Erasmus and Marsilius. Patrick Collinson and Basil Hall, deal with the Bible in the English Reformation, and Carl Trueman with the Lord''s Supper. Three scholars look forward from the Reformation to the church since then - Donald Coggan from Tyndale to the church today, James Packer from the Reformers to Whitefield, and Alister McGrath to the Role of Theology as Critic and Servant of the Church.
