Martin Bucer was an Alsatian Protestant reformer who worked primarily in Strasbourg and influenced Lutheran, Anglican, and Reformed doctrines.[1] Martin Bucer, whose early German name was Martin Butzer, was born on 11 November 1491 and died on 28 February 1551.[1]
Life and work
Bucer met Martin Luther for the first time at the Heidelberg Disputation in April 1518.[2] He was formally released from the Dominican Order on 29 April 1521.[2] After fleeing Wissembourg, Bucer arrived in Strasbourg in May 1523.[3][2] In December 1524, Bucer published Grund und Ursach, attacking the Mass as a sacrifice.[4]
He drafted twelve articles summarising Reformation teachings after the city council requested an official statement.[5] In the summer of 1507, after finishing his studies, Bucer became a novice in the Dominican Order.[5]
