This elegantly written book is the defining account of the man known as \"Paracelsus the Great.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the whole range of relevant manuscript and printed sources, Charles Webster considers Paracelsus's life and works, explores his advocacy for total reform of the clerical, legal, and medical professions, and describes his precise expectations for the Christian church of the future, focusing on his affinity with the spiritualist Anabaptists.
