Swiss Reformation (Zwingli and Zurich)

Zwingli began preaching at Zurich’s Grossmünster on 1 January 1519, and after the public disputations of 1523 the city council adopted the Reformation. He died at the battle of Kappel (1531); his successor Bullinger consolidated the German-speaking Reformed tradition.

At Marburg (1529) Luther and Zwingli agreed on fourteen of fifteen articles; they split only over how Christ is present in the Supper. Zwingli also upheld Mary’s perpetual virginity.
