About Martin Bucer
Martin Bucer was an Alsatian Protestant reformer based in Strasbourg who influenced Lutheran and Anglican doctrines and practices as well as Reformed theology. Bucer was originally a member of the Dominican Order, but after meeting and being influenced by Martin Luther in 1518 he arranged for his monastic vows to be annulled. He then began to work for the Reformation, with the support of Franz von Sickingen.
