Theology of Huldrych Zwingli
THEOLOGICAL VIEW THAT CONSIDERED SCRIPTURE A HIGHER AUTHORITY THEN THE CHURCH FATHERS
Theology of Zwingli; Zwinglian; Zwingliism; Zwinglianism; Zwinglian theology; Zwinglians
The theology of Ulrich Zwingli was based on an interpretation of the Bible, taking scripture as the inspired word of God and placing its authority higher than what he saw as human sources such as the ecumenical councils and the church fathers. He also recognised the human element within the inspiration, noting the differences in the canonical gospels.
Examples of use of Zwinglian
1. Perhaps some latter–day Zwinglian – or some student of Zwinglianism, like Father Seed – could explain on what grounds this direct and unambiguous biblical ordinance ought not to be dutifully honoured.
2. In listing Zwinglianism as one of his recreations, Father Seed presumably does not mean to imply any blanket subscription to Zwinglian views, some of which must in Catholic eyes amount, I imagine, to heresy, while others at very least must be classified as misguided: for instance, his teaching (which seems especially topical on the day before Good Friday) that music ought not to be used in worship.
