Abstract

Abstract The Reformed tradition derives its name from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. With roots in attempted reforms by others such as John Wycliffe (1330–1384) and Jan Hus (1369–1415), the Reformation was initiated in 1517 by Martin Luther's (1483–1546) posting of his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. Two years later, Huldrych Zwingli (1484–1531) began reforming the church in Switzerland. The Reformed tradition traces its origins to Zwingli's reforms, but it is in the ministry and thought of a second generation reformer, John Calvin (1509–1564), that the Reformed find their greatest expositor.
