Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    Who was Huldrych Zwingli?

    Model answer

    The reformer of Zurich, a humanist priest who from 1519 preached straight through the New Testament and led the city away from Rome.

  2. 2

    How did Zwingli's route to reform differ from Luther's?

    Model answer

    He came to it through humanist study of the Greek New Testament and civic patriotism rather than through a personal crisis over sin and justification.

  3. 3

    What was the affair of the sausages?

    Model answer

    A deliberate breaking of the Lenten fast at Zurich in 1522, which Zwingli defended on the ground that scripture nowhere commands fasting, and which opened the city's break with the bishop.

  4. 4

    How was reform in Zurich actually decided?

    Model answer

    By public disputations before the city council, which then legislated on religion, so the magistrates rather than a bishop settled doctrine.

  5. 5

    Name three practices abolished in Zurich under Zwingli.

    Model answer

    The mass, images and church decoration, and organ music, all removed because they had no scriptural warrant.

  6. 6

    How did Zwingli interpret Christ's words this is my body?

    Model answer

    He took them to mean this signifies my body, so the Lord's Supper is a memorial of a sacrifice already made rather than any kind of presence.
