Martin Bucer: The Forgotten Champion of Reformation Unity

Martin Bucer (1491–1551) was a key but often overlooked figure of the Protestant Reformation, known for his tireless efforts to unify divided factions of the church.<br />
<br />
From his early years influenced by Luther to his leadership in Strasbourg, Bucer worked to bridge theological divides between Lutherans, Reformed Christians, and even Roman Catholics. His contributions shaped pivotal documents like the First Helvetic Confession and the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, and his ecumenical spirit earned him the title "Fanatic of Unity."<br />
<br />
Join me as we explore Bucer’s life, his relentless pursuit of concord, and his enduring legacy as a champion of unity during one of the most tumultuous eras in church history.<br />
