Ulrich Zwingli was a revolutionary thinker, fiery preacher, and fearless reformer whose impact on the Protestant Reformation was profound yet often overshadowed by his contemporaries. "Ulrich Zwingli" offers a detailed exploration of Zwingli's life, tracing his rise from a child in the Swiss Alps to a leader who reshaped the religious and political landscape of Zurich. This book delves into Zwingli's early influences, his humanist education, and his service as a chaplain to Swiss mercenaries-experiences that fueled his deep opposition to corruption in both church and state. It follows his pivotal role in the Reformation, from his groundbreaking sermons against indulgences to his leadership in the Zurich Disputations, where he boldly called for radical church reforms. Readers will witness his unwavering commitment to sola scriptura (Scripture alone), his theological clashes with Martin Luther at the Marburg Colloquy, and his efforts to establish a new church order in Zurich. As war and political strife threatened the Swiss Reformation, Zwingli took up both the pulpit and the sword, meeting a tragic end at the Battle of Kappel. Yet, his influence did not die with him. The book concludes with an examination of how his successor, Heinrich Bullinger, solidified his theological legacy, ensuring that Zwingli's principles of faith, governance, and moral reform continue to shape Protestant traditions worldwide. Meticulously researched and presented in a clear chronological format, "Ulrich Zwingli" is an essential read for those seeking to understand one of the Reformation's most significant yet often overlooked figures.
