Description
Summary:This article provides an overview of the life and work of Huldrych Zwingli. It considers, in particular, his relationship with Erasmus and his theological ideas, including his views on the sacraments. The article concludes that Zwingli was a perplexing and contradictory character, whose sudden death in October, 1531 not only differentiates him reformers like Luther, Calvin, and Melanchthon, who lived to develop their work over many decades, but also leaves many unanswered questions.
