Ulrich Zwingli

Ulrich Zwingli was a key figure in the Protestant Reformation in the early 16th century. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Zwingli emphasized God's sovereignty and providence, believing that God is in complete control of everything, including salvation. He argued that human actions do not affect one's predestined fate, a concept he shared with John Calvin, though Zwingli focused more on the authority of Scripture and the role of faith. Zwingli's teachings shaped the Reformed tradition, highlighting God's ultimate power and the necessity of relying on divine grace for salvation.
