About this video
Runtime: 25 minsJudith Rossall discusses Martin Luther and Huldrych (Ulrich) Zwingli's part in the sixteenth century reformation. The Reformation period, often mischaracterized as being dominated solely by Martin Luther, actually encompassed multiple reformations. While Luther’s story is significant, it’s essential to recognize other reform movements, such as those stemming from the Fifth Lateran Council, which concluded in May 1517, just before Luther’s 95 Theses. The council underscored the widespread acknowledgment of the need for church reform, despite lacking concrete proposals. This period also saw figures like Huldrych Zwingli advocating for reform independently of Luther. Both the Catholic Church's internal struggles and the broader reform movements highlighted the era's complexity and the multifaceted nature of the call for change.
