Martin Bucer: An Introduction to His Life and Theology (Cascade Companions)

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.

Donald K. McKim is a former seminary dean, professor of theology, and executive editor for theology for Westminster John Knox Press. He is a retired minister of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and author and editor of numerous books.






Jim West is lecturer in biblical studies and church history at Ming Hua Theological College, Hong Kong, and pastor of Petros Baptist Church, Petros, Tennessee. He has written and coedited several volumes.
