Zwingli Was the First Reformed Theologian - Dr. Bruce Gordon

In this video Dr. Bruce Gordon and I discuss the theology, life, and legacy of the first Reformed theologian, Ulrich Zwingli.

We discuss Zwingli’s intellectual roots in the optimistic humanism of Erasmus, his differences from Luther and Calvin, and how a broad-minded pacifist came to die a political radical in an unnecessary military skirmish.
