Zwingli

Ulrich Zwingli was a Swiss religious reformer in the early 16th century, similar to Martin Luther. He led efforts to reform the Catholic Church in Zurich, advocating for scriptural authority, church simplification, and reduced rituals. Zwingli’s ideas helped spark the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland, emphasizing that the Bible should be the sole guiding authority for faith and practice. His teachings differed from Luther on some theological points, notably communion. Zwingli’s work significantly influenced Protestantism and contributed to the broader movement challenging Catholic traditions and promoting individual interpretation of scripture.
