The Swiss Reformation (English Edition)

The importance of the Swiss Reformation does not just derive from its being different. It was more its international aspect that was to set it apart. Zwingli's Reformation was to spread throughout northern Switzerland and into southern Germany, while Calvinism was to take a hold in France. In this study guide suitable for senior high school or first year university or college history students historian and author John Lotherington examines the Swiss Reformation in detail, covering topics such as Calvin, Zwingli, the Anabaptists, as well as dealing with the reaction of Catholic leaders to the spread of this new Protestantism. This short study guide is chapter 11 of the seminal history text 'Years of Renewal: European History 1470-1600', also published by Horsham House and available for Kindle,
