First sentence: Where the Alsatian plain is at its widest, spreading over eleven miles from the Rhine River to the Vosges Mountains, just north of where the modern-day departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin meet, lies the former imperial city of Selestat.
Description: "Martin Greschat's work is the first biography of the Protestant reformer to be written in seventy years. Now translated into English, this work - the most comprehensive account of Bucer's place within the context of the history of the Reformation - transcends normal biographies by providing much of interest in relation to the social and political contexts of the sixteenth century. Greschat's Martin Bucer is a splendid contribution to Reformation studies."--BOOK JACKET.
