Reformation History · Lesson 04

Ulrich Zwingli

Planned · Teaching materials in preparation

Consider reform in Zurich, the role of biblical preaching, and differences among the Reformers.

Planned learning focus

  • Place Zwingli within the Swiss Reformation.
  • Recognize both shared convictions and disagreements within reform movements.

A question for your class

How can a teacher describe theological disagreement accurately and fairly?

Use this as an opening question, then return to it after examining the historical setting and sources.

Preparing to teach

Consider what your students already know about church history. Introduce unfamiliar names and terms, place the topic on a timeline, and distinguish historical description from theological evaluation.
