Reviews
"...much of the author's argument is highly convincing...." Christopher R. Friedrichs, Studies in Medieval and Renaissance History, "...much of the author's argument is highly convincing...."Christopher R. Friedrichs, Studies in Medieval and Renaissance History, "...this book is to be commended for the concerted effort to weave together insights from different disciplines. It is particularly exciting to see the combination of visual imagery for the poor on Zwingli's pamphlets with the polemic against images in churches--a fascinating re-visioning of the commonplace that the Reformed tradition rejected religious art." Elsie McKee, Princeton Seminary Bulletin, "...a carefully crafted, well-written study, and it is a welcome addition to the growing literature in English about Zurich during the Reformation period." J. Wayne Baker, Church History, "Wandel has produced an elegant and crisp multidisciplinary profile of the reformation of charity in Zwingli's Zurich." William Monter, Journal of Interdisciplinary History

Synopsis
In this elegantly written book, Lee Wandel discusses the relationship between the reform of poor relief and the Protestant Reformation in early sixteenth-century Zurich. In the introduction she traces the various ways that poverty had been evaluated, and its social and religious connotations, up to the sixteenth century. The first chapter provides a portrait of sixteenth-century Zurich. The next three chapters explore the discussion of the poor in various media of the town. The second chapter examines the sermons and pamphlets of Huldrych Zwingli, who was preaching that the poor were the true images of God. The third chapter addresses printed images depicting Christ calling beggars and other poor folk to Him, which appeared on title pages of Zwingli's pamphlets. The fourth chapter turns to the language of legislation, and in particular the poor ordinances of 1520 and 1525., An examination of poor relief in post-Reformation Zurich, with special reference to Zwingli’s sermons and pamphlets., In this elegantly written book, Lee Wandel discusses the relationship between the reform of poor relief and the Protestant Reformation in early sixteenth-century Zurich. Close attention is paid to the sermons and pamphlets of Zwingli, who preached that the poor were the true images of God., In this elegantly written book, Lee Wandel discusses the relationship between the reform of poor relief and the Protestant Reformation in early sixteenth-century Zurich. In the introduction she traces the various ways that poverty has been evaluated, and its social and religious connotations, up to the sixteenth century. After providing a portrait of sixteenth-century Zurich, the author goes on to explore the discussion of the poor in various media of the town: the sermons and pamphlets of Huldrych Zwingli, who was preaching that the poor were the true images of God; printed images depicting Christ calling beggars and other poor folk to Him (these appeared on title pages of Zwingli's pamphlets); the language of legislation (in particular the poor ordinances of 1520 and 1525). By exploring each of these different "languages"--the words of Zwingli's sermons, the visual images of title page prints, and the language of legislation--Professor Wandel restores the complex perception of the poor in Reformation Zurich. In each, the poor were located within matrices of religious and social values and were seen as both economically dependent and symbolic within larger theological and ethical constructs.
