On True and False Religion

Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531)

Zwingli's most comprehensive theological work, presenting a full Protestant system of doctrine a decade before Calvin's Institutes. Written over three and a half months in late 1524 and published in March 1525, the Commentary covers everything from the nature of God and man to the sacraments, church, prayer, and civil government, addressing each topic by contrasting Scripture's teaching with Roman Catholic tradition. Dedicated to Francis I of France, it stands as the first genuinely systematic Protestant theology and the fullest expression of Zwingli's mature Reformed convictions.
