Salvation was treated like a transaction through rituals and indulgences, and the gospel was buried under centuries of human authority. The Bible was locked away in Latin, unreadable to most people. But God was preparing a movement of rediscovery—the Protestant Reformation.In this episode, we'll see how men like Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox, and the lesser-known Anabaptists helped bring Christianity back to the simple gospel of faith in Jesus Christ.The Reformation wasn't rebellion—it was rediscovery. It was a return to the gospel buried under layers of religion.The Reformation BeginsMartin Luther, a German monk, struggled with guilt and never felt good enough for God. While reading Romans 1:17, he discovered that righteousness is a gift from God—received by faith, not earned by works. Around that time, the Church was selling indulgences to raise money for St. Peter's Basilica, claiming that people could buy forgiveness. Outraged, Luther wrote his 95 Theses and nailed them to a church door in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517.The document spread quickly thanks to the newly invented printing press, and a movement was born. Luther stood before church authorities and declared, “My conscience is captive to the Word of God. Here I stand. I can do no other.” While hiding from persecution, he translated the Bible into German so ordinary people could read it for themselves.Other Reformers Across EuropeWhile Luther led in Germany, others joined the cause across Europe:Ulrich Zwingli in Switzerland preached directly from Scripture, opposed indulgences, and emphasized simple, Bible-centered worship.John Calvin in France and later Geneva wrote The Institutes of the Christian Religion, organizing Christian theology and emphasizing God's sovereignty, grace, and the authority of Scripture.John Knox in Scotland, a student of Calvin, boldly preached the gospel to kings and queens and helped establish the Presbyterian Church, governed by elders with Christ as its head.William Tyndale in England translated the Bible into English so people could read it in their own language.The Reformation spread rapidly, dividing Europe between those who followed the old system and those who embraced this rediscovered gospel of...

What is the nature of sin and desire? At a theological level?We're diving in with Joel Carini (from The Natural Theologian) for a theological conversation about desire, sin, attraction, and the resources that the reformed theological tradition has (or doesn't have) for same-sex-attracted, celibate Christians. Also includes: comparisons to psychology vs. biblical counseling, and how Harry Potter had comparable challenges.—Note: We use the terms “Side A” and “Side B” as shorthand quite a bit. If you're new to the conversation, here's a quick explanation. We also recommend listening to our episode #3, “A-B-Y-X | 4 Sides on SSA/Gay Sexuality.”* “Side A” generally refers to the perspective that affirms God can bless same-sex marriage and sexual relationships.Sides B, X, and Y all represent perspectives that uphold the historic Christian sexual ethic of marriage between a man and a woman, and sex within marriage. Specific perspectives differ beyond that:* “Side B” recognizes people experience same-sex sexual attraction and may describe that experience by a variety of words or identity terms while still holding to the historical Christian sexual ethic.* ”Side X” tends to emphasize the possibility of sexual orientation change, and ministers to gay people toward the aim of being “ex gay.”* “Side Y” tends to avoid naming any kind of identity language associated with LGBT concerns, with the goal of not taking on an identity of being “gay.”★ About Our GuestJoel Carini is a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at Saint Louis University. He holds an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary and an MA from the University of Chicago.

Dr Clark continues the series on the Lord's Supper, Nourish and Sustain. This series explores what the Supper is, why it was instituted, how it has been understood in the history of the church, what Scripture says, how we should understand it, and practice it. The Lord's Supper is one of the two sacraments instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ. A sacrament is a sign and seal of Holy Spirit-given benefits. Where baptism is the sign and seal of initiation into Christ-confessing covenant community, the Lord's Supper is the sign and seal of renewal and personal appropriation of the benefits promised in the covenant of grace. Tragically, since the mid-ninth century at least, holy communion, which is intended to bring Christ's people together, has often been a source of division. Perhaps worse, however, for much of the last one hundred fifty years, the Supper has been much neglected among evangelicals. In this episode, Dr. Clark discusses Ulrich Zwingli's Teaching on the Lord's Supper and his debates with other Reformers.

Martin Luther is a hero to countless Christians around the world. The birth of European Protestantism and the Lutheran Church cannot be expressed without citing the 95 theses that Martin Luther posted to the church door on Halloween 1517. A diet of worms follows.Whether you want to celebrate Fred the Wise or Pope Leo X, big changes came to Western Christendom because of Martin Luther's refusal to back down from a fight he believed in. He also believed that God wants people to suffer, so we'll take the whole thing in parts, favoring some things and not others.... We examine the Five Solae: Fidae, Scriptura, Gratia, Christus, and Deo Gloria; and how Protestantism differs from the Imperial tradition from which it was born. We also take a look at contemporary protestors, like Ulrich Zwingli, John Calvin, Menno Simons, the anabaptists of Zurich, and the dramatic climax of Guy Fawkes' treasonous Gun Powder Plot.All this and more....Support us on Patreon or you can get our merch at Spreadshop.

- “La libertà è una conquista preziosa”, spiega il pastore riformato Angelo Cassano nella sua meditazione biblica. Ma tale libertà è un dono prezioso che arriva da Dio attraverso Gesù Cristo, secondo il passo biblico dell'apostolo Paolo che aggiunge un invito: “Non vi lasciate porre di nuovo sotto il giogo della schiavitù”. Proteggere questo dono di Cristo – aggiunge il pastore – è la chiamata che ci è rivolta.- 500 anni fa nasceva il movimento anabattista, nell'ambito dei processi di riforma della Chiesa avviati nel 1517 in Germania ad opera di Martin Lutero. Gli anabattisti furono perseguitati tanto dai cattolici quanto dai riformatori protestanti (in particolare nella Zurigo del riformatore Ulrich Zwingli), a causa della loro pratica del battesimo degli adulti. La pena che veniva loro comminata consisteva, per tragica ironia, nell'annegamento. Il pastore riformato Paolo de Petris, specialista di questa materia storica, ci aiuta a comprendere gli snodi che portarono alla nascita di questo movimento, i cui eredi oggi sono principalmente i mennoniti (presenti negli Stati Uniti) e gli hutteriti. - Il mensile “Voce Evangelica”, della Conferenza delle Chiese evangeliche di lingua italiana in Svizzera, presenta, nel suo numero di febbraio, un dossier a partire dalla “Settimana mondiale dell'armonia interreligiosa”, occasione per parlare della Casa delle religioni di Berna, iniziativa di dialogo e convivenza, che ha appena celebrato i suoi primi 10 anni di vita.

The Protestant Reformation was a major religious movement that began in the early 16th century, fundamentally altering the landscape of Christianity in Europe and laying the groundwork for the modern church and Western civilization. The reformation was essentially a movement against perceived corruptions and excesses in the Roman Catholic Church. It sought to reform church practices and doctrines and ultimately led to the establishment of various Protestant denominations. So why was the church in the 16th century in such need of reformation? Who were the key figures of this reformation? What were the major events of this pivotal movement and what was its legacy? Join us as we unpack Martin Luther's revolutionary Ninety-Five Theses, discover the profound changes in worship and governance, and examine the lasting impact on modern Christianity. We'll discuss key figures like John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli, explore the rise of various denominations, and see how this movement laid the groundwork for some of the ideas we still cherish today.
It's Wednesday, May 1st, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Swiss abandon Christ The population of Switzerland is moving away from Christianity, despite the country once being at the center of the Protestant Reformation, led by Ulrich Zwingli. Three quarters of the Swiss live in cities. Of those, nearly one in three say they do not belong to any religion. The mainline Protestant church makes up only 19% of the city population, down from 49% in 1970. Roman Catholicism makes up 31%, down from 45%. And Islam has remained stable at 6%. Texas teacher ordered not to pray International Christian Concern warns that persecution is cropping up in America and the West, not just in other parts of the world. Just one example is the case of Staci Barber. She is a Texas school teacher who has been silenced for her faith after praying with other teachers at a school flagpole. She has been ordered not to pray. Jeff King, President of International Christian Concern, told The Christian Post, “Basically, we are frogs in the kettle, and the bubbles keep coming up under us. ... People learn that you do not stick your head up, and you start being quiet because ‘the process' is the punishment. ... We desperately need revival, and that all starts with us personally looking to the Lord.” Zechariah 1:3 says, “Return to Me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you.” 5 GOP states won't comply with Biden's transgender executive order Five Republican states are suing the Biden administration in a transgender case. The administration is trying to expand a federal civil rights law to include protection for students living sexually perverted lifestyles in public schools. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott told the Texas Education Agency to ignore the new federal rule. He wrote to President Joe Biden, “This ham-handed effort to impose a leftist belief onto Title IX exceeds your authority as president.” Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis also pushed back, saying, “Florida rejects Joe Biden's attempt to rewrite Title IX. We will not comply, and we will fight back.” Florida's Heartbeat Law protects unborn babies at 6 weeks Meanwhile, a new Heartbeat Law goes into effect in the Sunshine State today. The law bans the killing of unborn babies with detectable heartbeats but with some exceptions. The law goes into effect after the Florida Supreme Court upheld it last month. The court also upheld a 15-week abortion ban. Once a destination in the southeast for abortion, Florida may see thousands of fewer abortions due to the Heartbeat Law. FCC fines AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon for privacy breach The Federal Communications Commission is fining big wireless companies for sharing customer data without consent. AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon face nearly $200 million in fines. Jessica Rosenworcel with the FCC said, “These carriers failed to protect the information entrusted to them. Here, we are talking about some of the most sensitive data in their possession: customers' real-time location information, revealing where they go and who they are.” People concerned with crime despite drop in crime U.S. adults are becoming more concerned about crime. However, Pew Research reports crime rates are falling. Based on data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, violent crime fell 46% between 1993 and 2022. Property crime fell by 59%. The Bureau of Justice Statistics records even steeper declines with violent and property crime falling 71% over the same period. Meanwhile, 77% of Americans think crime is up nationally compared to 47% in 2000. And 55% think crime is up in their area compared to 34% in 2000. 10 perspectives that conflict with Biblical worldview Dr. George Barna released another survey on worldview in America. He identified 10 of the most common perspectives widely embraced by adults that conflict with a Biblical worldview. These views were influenced by other worldviews like secular humanism, pantheism, animism, Mormonism, and Judaism. One of the top beliefs was that married couples can be bonded to each other for eternity. Other top beliefs were that people are born neither good nor bad and that morality is determined by our own reason and emotions. In Ephesians 4:14-15, the Apostle Paul encourages us to “no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ.” Unique nova explosion in the skies set for August And finally, NASA reports yet another once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event will be visible this year. Sometime before September, scientists are expecting a nova explosion in a star system about 3,000 light years from Earth. The stellar explosion results from the interaction between a massive star, known as a red giant, and a white dwarf—a star about the size of Earth. This particular nova happens about every 80 years and will likely be visible to the unaided eye. Close And that's The World View in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, May 1st in the year of our Lord 2024.

Today we are joined by Stephen Brett Eccher to discuss the firebrand of fidelity that is Ulrich Zwingli in connection with Eccher's new book “Zwingli the Pastor: A Life in Conflict” from Lexham press.
When we talk about the Protestant Reformation, most people remember Martin Luther and John Calvin. However, a third man had a significant influence at the start of the Reformation: Ulrich Zwingli. Join Trinity, Christian, and Linus as they travel back to Reformation Switzerland with their guest, Rev. William Boekestein, to discover who Zwingli really was. Also, find out why having a sausage-fest on March 9 might be a good idea! Thanks to our generous friends at Christian Focus Publications, we have a couple copies of William Boekestein's book, Ulrich Zwingli: Shepherd Warrior to give away. To enter the drawing, click here.

The Protestant Reformation was a foregone conclusion because, at some point, people would have to rise up to throw off the religious tyranny of the Roman Catholic Church. This movement was led by Martin Luther in Germany, Ulrich Zwingli in Switzerland and John Calvin in France. But sadly, instead of overthrowing the Roman harlot, they ‘reformed' her, and created a new system of teaching based on creeds, confessions and canons. Reformed Theology. They ‘improved it worse', or as the Germans say, die verschlimmbesserung. Whoa, that's a mouthful. On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we are looking at the Protestant Reformation as compared to the clear teachings of your King James Bible, and we wade through some fairly meaty creeds, confessions and canons that form the bulk of the Reformation, or Reformed Theology. The Reformers were a highly passionate lot, which is a good thing, but some of that passion led to some insane excess. Martin Luther, talking about the Jews, wrote “First to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them.” Yikes. John Calvin had his opponents, political and religious, put to death. Certainly none of this aligns with anything Paul ever wrote. But the Reformed Movement which rose up around them is alive and well in our day, and it is based on 3 main things. They are the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dort and the Westminster Confession of Faith. John MacArthur, RC Sproul, John Piper and others have been the Reformed standard bearers in the 21st century, and they and their followers rule social media with a rod of iron. On this episode, we compare what they teach and believe to the Bible.

However, just as quick was his rise to prominence as his fall from grace. After dying in battle, many of his contemporaries distanced themselves from him, and despite being contemporary with Luther, he receives only a small fraction of the attention other Reformers do in current studies of the Reformation. Dr. Bruce Gordon, Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale University, joins me in this episode to discuss the life and legacy of Ulrich Zwingli, which he outlines in more detail in his groundbreaking work God's Armed Prophet. Together, we explore the myriad ways Zwingli has been misunderstood, as well as why he continues to be a figure that defies easy characterization.

I grew up around Frederick, MD where I eventually ended up working my first job at a church. They made the mistake of letting me try my hand at teaching, and instantly I fell in love. That set me on a path for further education, and I'm currently a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL, studying theology. On any given day you can find me with my nose in a book or a guitar in my hands. Want to get to know me more?

Ulrich Zwingli and the Reformation in Zurich
Welche Bedeutung haben Glauben und Theologie der Zürcher Reformation für uns heute? Mit den Disputationen in Zürich 1523 setzt sich Zwinglis Reformation an der Limmat endgültig durch. Andreas und Thorsten blicken zurück auf die damaligen Auseinandersetzungen und fragen sich: Was ist das unverwechselbare Profil von Ulrich Zwingli? Welche seiner Einsichten sind bis heute inspirierend und tragfähig? Kann sich die ganze Vielfalt der heutigen Zürcher Kirche noch auf ihn berufen? Und wo müssen wir heute anders und neu glauben und denken?
Die zweite von fünf Solas ist, Solus Christus, das heißt Jesus allein. Willi und Aaron setzen sich zusammen und sprechen über das Abendmahl und seine Bedeutung für die Genügsamkeit des Todes Christi am Kreuz. Nachdem Urlich Zwingli, aus der Schweiz, die katholische Messe reformieren wollte, reflektieren Aaron und Willi darüber, wie der Gottesdienstraum sich deswegen, nach der Reformation, verändert hat. Ulrich Zwingli, 1484-1531, Schweiz „Christus, nachdem er sich einmal geopfert hat, ist für die Ewigkeit ein sicheres und gültiges Opfer für die Sünden aller Gläubigen.“ 2 Hätte man sonst nicht aufgehört, Opfer darzubringen, wenn die, welche den Gottesdienst verrichten, einmal gereinigt, kein Bewusstsein von Sünden mehr gehabt hätten? 3 Stattdessen geschieht durch diese [Opfer] alle Jahre eine Erinnerung an die Sünden. 4 Denn unmöglich kann das Blut von Stieren und Böcken Sünden hinwegnehmen! 5 Darum spricht er bei seinem Eintritt in die Welt: »Opfer und Gaben hast du nicht gewollt; einen Leib aber hast du mir bereitet. 6 An Brandopfern und Sündopfern hast du kein Wohlgefallen. 7 Da sprach ich: Siehe, ich komme — in der Buchrolle steht von mir geschrieben —, um deinen Willen, o Gott, zu tun!« 8 Oben sagt er: »Opfer und Gaben, Brandopfer und Sündopfer hast du nicht gewollt, du hast auch kein Wohlgefallen an ihnen« — die ja nach dem Gesetz dargebracht werden —, 9 dann fährt er fort: »Siehe, ich komme, um deinen Willen, o Gott, zu tun«. [Somit] hebt er das Erste auf, um das Zweite einzusetzen. 10 Aufgrund dieses Willens sind wir geheiligt durch die Opferung des Leibes Jesu Christi, [und zwar] ein für alle Mal. 11 Und jeder Priester steht da und verrichtet täglich den Gottesdienst und bringt oftmals dieselben Opfer dar, die doch niemals Sünden hinwegnehmen können; 12 Er aber hat sich, nachdem er ein einziges Opfer für die Sünden dargebracht hat, das für immer gilt, zur Rechten Gottes gesetzt, 13 und er wartet hinfort, bis seine Feinde als Schemel für seine Füße hingelegt werden. 14 Denn mit einem einzigen Opfer hat er die für immer vollendet, welche geheiligt werden. Hebr 10:2-14

Ulrich Zwingli was one of the towering figures of the Reformation, a committed humanist, and a warrior who ultimately fell in battle. He despised the idea that Christianity could render men passive, and in a short treatise from 1523 to a young nobleman, he sketches the outlines of his ideal education for the creature called man: "We are set between the hammer and the anvil, half beast and half angel."Richard M.

Jason Landsel, author of a new graphic novel, Jason Landsel, author of a new graphic novel, talks about the Radical Reformation and its legacy. Peter and Susannah give a brief but lively summary of the story of the life of Felix Manz, one of the original Radical Reformers who was a founder of what would become the Anabaptist movement. His story, bound together with the story of Ulrich Zwingli, the Magisterial Reformer of Zurich, raises questions about the role of state authority in the life of the church, freedom of conscience, and the nature of conversion, which are still passionately debated today. Peter and Susannah speak with Jason about the political-theological issues involved, the role of humanism and the return to sources in the Reformation, and the personal story too: Manz had been Zwingli's protégé, almost his surrogate son, before he sentenced him to death. They discuss also the historical background to the debates over baptism and tithes and church membership and independence which fueled the drama of Felix's life, which involved a number of jailbreaks as well as intellectual ferment. The Ottoman armies were advancing, and Catholic Europe and the other Reformed areas were watching as this debate over the future of the Reformation played out in Zurich.
Would you die for your beliefs? Five hundred years ago, in an age marked by war, plague, inequality, and religious coercion, there were people across Europe who dared to imagine a society of sharing, peace, and freedom of conscience. These radicals were ready to die for their vision. They were executed by the thousands—by water, by fire, and by sword—in both Catholic and Protestant states. Next year, Plough Publishing House will present BY WATER: THE FELIX MANZ STORY, the first of a three-volume graphic novel series that dramatically and creatively evokes a little-known chapter in the history of Europe's Reformation. Written by Jason Landsel and featuring art by Sankha Banerjee, BY WATER is a compelling and timely story about young people standing up for truth against the corrupt political and religious leaders of their day. “Felix Manz was the son of a Catholic priest who became an unlikely leader and ultimately the very first martyr of the Radical Reformation,” said writer Jason Landsel. “BY WATER chronicles the real life conflict between Manz and his mentor, the establishment reformer Ulrich Zwingli. Manz revered Zwingli as a father figure, but ended up being drowned on Zwingli's orders for insisting that only believers should be baptized.” “This trilogy tells the story of the radicals from the Reformation period who tried to build an alternative society inspired by Gutenberg's Bible and Thomas More's Utopia,” said Plough Publishing House Editor Sam Hine. “These graphic novels skillfully combine historical figures and events with imagined scenes and encounters to create an ambitious, action-packed and historically accurate account of young people standing up for their convictions.” BY WATER: THE FELIX MANZ STORY will be published by Plough Publishing House on March 21, 2023 and will be followed by subsequent volumes titled BY FIRE and BY SWORD. Plough Publishing House, founded in 1920, is an independent publisher of books on faith, society, and the spiritual life. The company is based in Walden, New York with branches in the United Kingdom and Australia. Plough also publishes Plough Quarterly, a bold new magazine of stories, ideas, and culture to inspire faith and action. Jason Landsel is a New York-based writer and illustrator with a lifelong fascination with the history of social and religious radicalism. As a contributing art director to Plough Quarterly, his artwork is featured in a regular column of the magazine. He is a member of the Bruderhof, an Anabaptist community movement that traces its roots to the Radical Reformation. Sankha Banerjee has illustrated graphic novel adaptations of The Count of Monte Cristo and The Wind in the Willowsand well as graphic historical biographies of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Wright brothers. His works have been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon, France, and the India International Centre in Delhi. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Multimedia and Animation, St. Xavier's College, Kolkata, India. Richard Mommsen, who assisted in historical research and scriptwriting for By Water, is also a videographer, podcast producer, and director of the Bruderhof's historical archives.

When the plague hit his city, Ulrich Zwingli, the famous Swiss Reformer, gave the world an example of how a true Christian man faces real danger. His courage and selfless devotion to others came from a deep understanding of the gospel and grace. The good news is that Christianity is not about earning the right to be in God's presence. It's about enjoying it. Enjoy this Christmas special and believe that Jesus loves you and wants to be with you no matter what.

In this episode, Tyler talks with Christopher Catherwood about the man who is considered by many as the father of the reformed movement, Ulrich Zwingli. Listen as Dr. Catherwood introduces us to the revolutionary life of Zwingli.
Romans 13:1-7 — Does church history hold importance for believers today? Why should Christians look to the past for insight into doctrine instead of looking to Scripture alone? In the second part of his series on the church and the state, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones chastises the arrogance of believers who say church history is not important. In this sermon on Romans 13:1–7 titled “Church and the State (2),” he argues for the wisdom of modern believers' consideration of men and women of history handling difficult questions of their faith. This is particularly enlightening as one considers the relations of church and state. Dr. Lloyd-Jones continues his historical look at these particular relations through consideration of the view that the church and the state are essentially different and distinct. He provides four distinctions to consider: their difference in origin, the object from which they were instituted, the power given to them by God, and the way their functions are carried out. The teachings of Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin are given special attention by Dr. Lloyd-Jones as their beliefs are foundational to the development of the influential Belgic Confession and Westminster Confession. These confessions have direct implications for Presbyterian congregations today. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones expounds on the value of learning from church history as he continues discussing the relations of the church and the state.
While Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin were leading the charge for reform, the Roman Catholic Church was not sitting idly by. Today we cover the Catholic response: re-entrench and slam the door. The Council of Trent reaffirms Catholic doctrine while the newly-minted Jesuits spread the Gospel through the schools. Then, we close out the episode with a look at the overall significance of the Reformation.Website: www.westerncivpodcast.comBecome a Patron for ad-free versions of the show: www.patreon.com/westerncivpodcastSubscribe to the Premium Feed at: www.glow.fm/westernciv
