A Swiss revolution that started in a pulpit
Switzerland nowadays might be known for being a peaceful and neutral country, but that hasn't always been the case. The nation has also had its share of civil wars and revolutions. One of them was brought about by the reformer, Ulrich Zwingli.

What does it mean to be a Christian soldier?
The very question sounds awkward to modern ears. What some believers today might forget is that the imagery of warfare is indelibly embedded in the pages of Scripture. Commands like “fight the good fight of faith” (1 Tim 6:12) and “endure hardships as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (2 Tim 2:3) abound–and these references come from the New Testament!
In an unexpected, and perhaps ironic way, the life of Ulrich Zwingli serves as a rallying cry to modern Christians who seem more interested in “sharing in contemporary religious conversations” than in going to war. Quite literally—if not altogether commendably—Zwingli sacrificed his life going to war as a soldier of Jesus. He is most commonly remembered today as a Christian patriot who died on the battlefield of Kappel in 1531. But in all of life he shared the sentiments of Isaac Watts’ hymn, “Am I a Soldier of the Cross?” “Since I must fight if I would reign, increase my courage Lord; I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain, supported by Thy Word.”
If you need help in facing the battles to which God is calling you, Ulrich Zwingli might be your man. And this little book just might be a very timely read.

SUMMARY
=======
Huldrych Zwingli or Ulrich Zwingli (1 January 1484 – 11 October 1531) was a leader of the Reformation in Switzerland. Born during a time of emerging Swiss patriotism and increasing criticism of the Swiss mercenary system, he attended the University of Vienna and the University of Basel, a scholarly center of Renaissance humanism. He continued his studies while he served as a pastor in Glarus and later in Einsiedeln, where he was influenced by the writings of Erasmus.
In 1519, Zwingli became the pastor of the Grossmünster in Zürich where he began to preach ideas on reform of the Catholic Church. In his first public controversy in 1522, he attacked the custom of fasting during Lent. In his publications, he noted corruption in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, promoted clerical marriage, and attacked the use of images in places of worship. In 1525, Zwingli introduced a new communion liturgy to replace the Mass. Zwingli also clashed with the Anabaptists, which resulted in their persecution. Historians have debated whether or not he turned Zürich into a theocracy.The Reformation spread to other parts of the Swiss Confederation, but several cantons resisted, preferring to remain Catholic. Zwingli formed an alliance of Reformed cantons which divided the Confederation along religious lines. In 1529, a war between the two sides was averted at the last moment. Meanwhile, Zwingli's ideas came to the attention of Martin Luther and other reformers. They met at the Marburg Colloquy and although they agreed on many points of doctrine, they could not reach an accord on the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
In 1531 Zwingli's alliance applied an unsuccessful food blockade on the Catholic cantons. The cantons responded with an attack at a moment when Zürich was ill-prepared. Zwingli died on the battlefield. His legacy lives on in the confessions, liturgy, and church orders of the Reformed churches of today.
