	Luminarium Encyclopedia: Martin Bucer (1491-1551)
		MARTIN BUCER (or Butzer), German Protestant reformer, was born in 1491 at Schlettstadt in Alsace.
		On the question of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, Bucer's opinions were decidedly Zwinglian, but he was anxious to maintain church unity with the Lutheran party, and constantly endeavoured, especially after Zwingli's death, to formulate a statement of belief that would unite Lutheran, south German and Swiss reformers.
		Bucer is said to have written ninety-six treatises, among them a translation and exposition of the Psalms and a work De regno Christi.

	Biography Martin Bucer
		Bucer’s teachings on the Holy Spirit and church discipline as vital to church polity, and on the need for the participation of the laity in church affairs eventually became an integral part of the Calvinist message.
		Bucer, together with Fagius, accepted an invitation to England from Thomas Cranmer, archbishop of Canterbury, the soul of the Reforrnation in England.
		Bucer was directed to examine the Book of Common Prayer, and was thus led into a public disputation held on Aug. 6, 1550, to expose the opposition of the English bishops (who still leaned toward Rome) to evangelical principles and innovations.

	Bucer
		Martin Bucer was born in 1491 in Selestat, South Germany, not far from Strassburg where he was to spend 25 years in the pastoral ministry.
		Bucer was one of the first Reformers to marry, and it was his marriage that prompted Erasmus to remark that the Reformation was not so much a tragedy as a comedy because it always ended in a wedding.
		Bucer made important contributions to the Reformation; but his zeal for unity remains an abiding warning against compromise of the truth of the gospel for purposes of attaining mere outward unity.

	Martin Bucer - Theopedia
		Martin Bucer (November 11, 1491 – February 28, 1551) was a German Protestant reformer.
		Later Bucer disavowed the agreement due to his differences with the Lutherans over the interpretation of manducatio indignorum (that "unworthy communicants" also eat and drink the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist).
		Bucer's collected writings are being published in three series: the Opera Latina edited by Francois Wendel et al (1955-), the Deutsche Schriften edited by Robert Stupperich et al (1960-), and the correspondence, edited by Jean Rott et all (1979-).

	The life of John Calvin, Martin Bucer
		Bucer's confession was called The Tetrapolitan Confession since the four imperial cities of Strasburg, Constance, Memmingen and Lindau subscribed to Bucer's confession at its presentation to Charles.
		Bucer, however, held to his confession throughout his life and confessed it in his last will and testament and on his death bed in 1548.[7] Zurich never subscribed the Augsburg Confession, and thus carried on a distinctive Swiss Reformed Protestantism in the spirit of Zwingli.
		Martin Bucer, the reformer of Strasbourg, wrote a book entitled, The Reign of Christ in England, but the other reformers devoted their efforts to defending the doctrine of justification or the Reformation doctrine of the Sacraments.

		The same say I of Bucer, that he hath made no small progress in divinity, whom Bucer pleases; for in his volumes, which he wrote very many, there is the plain impression to be discerned of many great virtues, of diligence, of charity, of truth, of acuteness, of judgment, of learning.

	BRILL
		Unlike most theologians of his age, Martin Bucer had a wide range of vision with respect to European affairs: In addition to his contacts within Alsace and Germany, he established relations with almost every country on the Continent.
		As Bucer did not found a religious denomination himself, his theological and historical importance has been underestimated for a long time.
		Bucer's letters (BCor) have been published in chronological order as part of the "Opera omnia" since 1979 (Leiden, Brill, I: 1979; II: 1989; III: 1995; IV: 2000).

		In Spener’s time, Bucer’s original memorial to the town council of Strasbourg regarding this venture was reprinted under the title: "Defense of the so-called Collegiorum pietatis" in 1691 and 1692.
