Swiss Protestantism

Swiss Protestantism refers to the branch of Christianity that emerged in Switzerland during the Reformation in the 16th century, led by figures like Huldrych Zwingli and later John Calvin. It emphasizes doctrines such as salvation through faith alone, the authority of Scripture, and the priesthood of all believers. Swiss Protestants helped shape a distinct religious identity that prioritized both personal faith and community worship. Today, Swiss Protestantism mainly exists within Reformed churches, influencing Swiss culture, ethics, and social values while maintaining a commitment to religious reform and biblical principles.
