Rudolf Gwalther

He attended schools in Kappel, Basel, Strasbourg, Lausanne and Marburg and studied mathematics and poetry in addition to theology.

As Zwingli's son-in-law, he sought to preserve the great reformer's heritage and remained true to his theological orientation.

Gwalther's Latin translations of Zwingli's works helped disseminate his thought in the Romance language world.

For Bullinger, he was a valuable collaborator in the management of the Zurich church and in assisting with his widely dispersed correspondence network.

[3] His son, Rudolf Gwalther the younger (1552–77), likewise enhanced his influence in England when he studied in Oxford in the early 1570s.
