The Reformation · January 1523

The Sixty-Seven Articles

Huldrych Zwingli · 1484–1531

What it is

Articles defended before the Zurich council: the gospel needs no confirmation from the church, the mass is not a sacrifice, and Christ alone is the head of believers.

Why it lasted

The first Reformation programme adopted by a city government after public disputation — the model for how Swiss and south German towns changed religion.

Where to read it

This work is in the public domain and can be read in full, free, at the archives below. The Library catalogues it; it does not host the text.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
