Carl Trueman speaks about the various contexts in Germany and Switzerland leading up to the Marburg Colloquy, a meeting called by Philip I of Hesse to unite the Protestant states in a political alliance. To accomplish such a union, he sought theological agreement between Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli. To understand the dynamics of the colloquy, it's important to recognize that Luther and Zwingli were operating in significantly different contexts.
