Description
The life story and theological writings of Katharina Schutz Zell (1498-1562) present an unusually full picture of an urban lay woman in the Protestant Reformation.
The daughter of an established artisan in the free imperial city of Strasbourg, Katharina Schutz married the reformer Matthew Zell and became a partner in one of the first Protestant 'clergy couples'. More than a pioneer pastor's wife, Schutz Zell carried out a lifelong ministry of teaching, writing, and speaking out, as well as the charitable work and hospitality traditionally expected of a woman.
Part one of Volume 1 paints Schutz Zell's biography in the context of her age, part two explores the main features of her biblical theology and literary activity, giving particular attention to Schutz Zell's convictions about the ministries of women and laity.
Volume 2 provides access for the first time to the literary corpus of an outstanding lay leader of the early Protestant Reformation, one of the most articulate women authors of her age.
An educated Strasbourg craftswoman and pastor's wife, Katharina Schutz Zell wrote German fluently.
Her works, some published in her lifetime, others preserved only in manuscript, are remarkable for their time-span (1524-1558) and the range of genres: from devotional, educational, and pastoral text to sermonic literature and theological polemic.
Schutz Zell's writings reveal a lively mind, considerable Biblical knowledge, and unusual historical gifts. Her practically unknown autograph letter to Caspar Schwenckfeld is particularly important for the new light it sheds on confessionalization in the 1550's and one woman's friendly but sturdy intellectual independence.
All volumes of the print edition are available in individual e-books: 9789004532397 (volume 1) - 9789004532403 (volume 2).

Description
This is the first of a two-volume set providing access to the literary corpus of Katharina Schutz Zell, a lay leader of the early Protestant Reformation, and one of the most articulate women authors of her age. Her works, some published in her lifetime, others preserved only in manuscript, are remarkable for their time span (1524-1558) and range of genres - from devotional, educational and pastoral texts, to sermonic literature and theological polemic. Her practically unknown autograph letter to Caspar Schwenckfeld is particularly important for the new light it sheds on confessionalization in the 1550s and Zell's intellectual independence.
