Ulrich Zwingli
1484 – 1531 · Switzerland
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
A parish priest in Zurich, Zwingli independently arrived at reforming convictions around the same time as Luther, launching the Swiss Reformation. He died on the battlefield, serving as chaplain to Zurich's troops in a war between Protestant and Catholic cantons.
