31 things you may not have known about Reformation Period and Martin Luther

It is the first of October and thought I would post 31 days about things that possibly was not known about the Reformation and Martin Luther.


The first that may have simple been not known was that Ulrich Zwingli was a Reformer and a contemporary of Luther.  In one sermon, he actually connected the Eucharist to the Passover. Phillip of Hesse, a prince in Germany, hoped that Zwingli and Luther could work together to unite the direction of the Reformation.  The one area that Luther and Zwingli could not get pass was in dealing with the doctrine over the Lord Supper. Luther wanted to keep it literal and Zwingli wanted to treated as a symbolic representation of Christ's Body. This was an impasse that was never resolved by them.
