Conrad Grebel is known as a “radical Reformer” — a leader who took the movement one step further by insisting on separating church from state.

Without Zwingli, there would have been no Reformation in Zurich. Without Heinrich Bullinger, it would not have lasted.

Hellen Stirke did not debate theology, write a treatise, or preach to hundreds. She just staked her soul on Scripture — and paid for it with her life.

He never preached a sermon and never authored a theological treatise. He was a Reformer by accident — or, better, by common grace.

Though once utterly enchanted with Catholic piety, William Farel would be used by God to liberate countless thousands from the bondage of Roman superstition.

Thomas Cranmer led England from Roman Catholicism and shaped England’s theology perhaps more than any other Reformer.

What Marie Dentière lacked in feminine modesty or humility for her day, she made up for with unrivaled zeal for the gospel.
