Drawn from Vermigli’s numerous sermons, lectures, and commentaries, the Loci Communes present his mature theological thought, arranged into four books covering core topics of Protestant doctrine, biblical interpretation, and Christian ethics. This expanded edition contains significant additions over the earlier printing, as indicated on the opening page.

Petrus Martyr Vermigli (1499–1562), a Florentine Augustinian who embraced the Reformation, became professor of theology in Strasbourg, Oxford, and later Zürich.
His works were highly influential in shaping Reformed theology in both Continental Europe and England, particularly in matters of the Eucharist, predestination, and biblical exegesis.
