Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Swiss Reformed Church Since the Reformation Switzerland has always occupied a prominent place in the history of Protestant Europe. Switzerland is a monument of the reformation. Students of Church history have diligently studied the influence of the reformers Zwingli and Calvin in other lands, as France, Holland, Scotland, etc., but the results of their work in their own little land, Switzerland, have been largely unnoted. On the period covered by this volume there is no book in the English language. The reformation has been ably and thoroughly described in the works of Schaff, Fisher, Hagenbach, D´Aubigne and others, but of this period only a biography or two, as of Haldane, Malan and Vinet, have appeared in English. Yet the history of Switzerland, since the reformation, is only second in importance to the history of Switzerland in the reformation. This volume will, therefore, fill a gap among church histories in the English language. The book may also be said to be a tribute by the author to the beautiful and grand little country in which he has so often summered. And it also completes a set of histories written on the Reformed Churches of Germany, the United States, and now Switzerland. In writing it the biographical method rather than the topical has been used, so as to make it more intelligible to the English readers, who, living so far away, are comparatively unacquainted with many of the characters who have made the history of the Church of Switzerland important and grand.
