The Reformation - Ulrich Zwingli

The transcript discusses reform movements outside Germany, focusing on Ulrich Zwingli in Zurich, Switzerland. Zwingli embraced Luther's teachings and shifted the Zurich Church to Protestant ideals by 1519. He advocated for a church stripped of opulence, emphasizing faith as the source of salvation.
