The Life of Ulrich Zwingle, the Swiss Reformer

This general account of Zwingli’s life by J. G. Hess offers a warm and readable portrait of Luther and Calvin’s lesser-known Swiss compatriot. Translator Lucy Aikin notes that this “lively and feeling narrative of facts … aims at giving such a picture of the truly evangelical character and spirit of the Swiss reformer and his doctrine as, by interesting the heart, may gently invite the reason to a closer investigation of those principles, which it was the business of his life to inculcate.”
