Autorenporträt
Johann Jakob Hottinger (1783–1860) was a Swiss theologian and historian notable for his contributions to the understanding of Reformation history, particularly within the Swiss context. As a scholar, Hottinger focused his work on the intricate dynamics of religious and political change, evidenced by his meticulous study of key Reformation figures. His literary style, characterized by an attention to historical detail and a commitment to primary source analysis, cemented his reputation as a reliable chronicler of the past. One of Hottinger's significant works, 'The Life and Times of Ulric Zwingli,' provides an in-depth examination of the life of the Swiss reformer, Huldrych Zwingli, offering insights into the socio-religious upheavals of early 16th-century Zurich. This book remains a valuable resource for historians and students of church history. The clear narrative style and thorough research methodology in Hottinger's writings reflect the scholarly rigour of his era and contribute to an enduring understanding of the complex narrative of Protestant Reformation.
