| 0:00.0 | Hello there and welcome to the Think of Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb. And today I'm joined by our regular hosts, Dr. Scott Keith, Adam Francisco, and Rod Rosenblot. We are, oh, I'm losing track, in the ninth episode of the history of the Reformation. And so far we've made it to about 1530 in our normal timeline, |
| 0:38.1 | where we've been covering sort of the main events of the Lutheran Reformation, |
| 0:42.9 | of the articles and books that Melanchthon and Luther have been working on |
| 0:48.7 | and the other people at Wittenberg. |
| 0:50.6 | 1530 is going to be a big year, which in our next episode, |
| 0:53.2 | we're going to talk about the Augsburg Confession and the context and sort of history of that. But today we're going to |
| 1:00.3 | take a step sort of simultaneously to the last three episodes that we did, which were in the mid-15-20s, |
| 1:07.1 | the late-15-20s. We're going to talk about Ulrich Zwingli, who is the sort of one of the big |
| 1:14.2 | figures of the radical Reformation or the Anabaptists. And we need to talk about him because we |
| 1:21.1 | didn't talk, we did not cover Zwingli in our great heroes of the Christian faith series. And I think that's probably not surprising coming from Lutherans |
| 1:31.0 | because while Zwingli's impact is in the United States, |
| 1:34.6 | probably at least arguably greater than Luther's in popular Christianity, |
| 1:39.4 | I would doubt that in the churches that do utilize sort of the theology he started, |
| 1:44.6 | a lot of them probably don't recognize that. |
| 1:47.2 | Absolutely. |
| 1:48.6 | On certain key subjects, they've inherited what he did, but doesn't come labeled. |
| 1:54.5 | Yeah, and as far as, you know, Orthodox Christianity is concerned. |
| 2:00.7 | Zwingli in many areas kind of falls outside of that. |
| 2:05.1 | That's why we're going to call him a radical reformer, and I think that radical title is probably why we didn't cover him in the great heroes of the Christian faith series. |
| 2:13.9 | So Adam said that he is, he's got all of that information about Zwingley down in his |
| 2:21.3 | mind. And so he told me that he can, he can cover the outline in this episode. So what, |
| 2:26.6 | down in my mind, huh? Down in the recesses. Yeah. So where do we need to start with Swingly? He's, events where he starts to crossover Luther happened in the mid-1520s. |
