Summary
Ulrich Zwingli, a man often overshadowed by Herculean reformers Luther and Calvin, died a Swiss patriot in 1531—he fought for freedom to preach biblical faith. A determined man, Zwingli fathered the Reformed tradition and established Scripture as the absolute and primary authority for Christian living.
