This accessible book introduces the life and work of Martin Bucer (1491-1551), the significant sixteenth-century Protestant Reformer. Bucer shared theological insights with other Protestant Reformers but also provided his own unique contributions. Donald McKim and Jim West help us to understand Bucer's thought in the historical, political, and ecclesial context of his times. They also explore its ongoing importance for the contemporary church.
