Huldrych Zwingli

Huldrych Zwingli was a Swiss religious reformer in the 16th century, similar to Martin Luther, who challenged practices and teachings of the Catholic Church. He emphasized the authority of the Bible, rejected certain church traditions, and promoted reforms like simplified services and Scripture-based theology. Zwingli sought to align Christian practice more closely with biblical teachings and played a key role in establishing Protestantism in Switzerland. His efforts significantly influenced the Protestant Reformation, shaping the development of Reformed Christianity and contributing to broader religious and societal changes in Europe.
