INTRODUCTORY NOTE A TRIBUTE TO HULDRYCH ZWINGLI KENNETH A. STRAND AUSS Editor Last year, in follow-up of the Martin Luther Jubilee, AUSS devoted a full issue to this pioneer of sixteenth-century Protestant reformers, who had been given such widespread attention in 1983 on the five-hundredth anniversary of his birth. Although the quin- centennial of Huldrych Zwingli's birth in 1984 did not elicit the same degree of response, nevertheless Zwingli has been honored, both last year and this year, in various convocations and publications here and abroad. Although we have felt it inadvisable for AUSS to devote again a full issue to another personage of the sixteenth century — important though he may be—, we have deemed it appropriate to include as one of our main articles in each issue this year a presentation that in some way highlights the contributions of Zwingli. Accordingly, in our Spring number, we carried a study by J. Wayne Baker which, though dealing with a broader concern (dialogue and debate between Basel and Zurich on the matter of church disci- pline), does give a fair amount of attention to the pioneer Zurich reformer himself. In the present number, the major article which im- mediately follows this introductory note and chronological table is by world-renowned Zwingli specialist Ulrich Gabler, who probes certain questions at the "cutting edges" of present-day Zwingli research. The final article on Zwingli—planned for our Autumn issue—is being pre- pared by another authority on the Swiss Reformation, Daniel A. Augsburger, who will highlight important aspects of the Zurich re- former's career that have given him an enduring significance. Last year, in our AUSS Luther issue, we included a brief chrono- logical sketch of that Reformer's career—one taking note also of impor- tant events contemporary with Luther's life span. A similar brief chronological sketch of Zwingli's career is provided below, with notice again of certain important events which occurred in his lifetime. For further details concerning the Reformation in Germany, that earlier chronological table may be consulted (see AUSS 22 [1984]: 25-32). Before we proceed to the chronological sketch of Zwingli's life, a summary of the political situation in Switzerland during the time of his reformatory career in Zurich (1519-31) is appropriate. At that time, 131 132 KENNETH A. STRAND Switzerland consisted of thirteen cantons in somewhat loose confedera- tion, plus some "common" and "allied" districts (of which more will be said below). The Confederation originated with the joining of three "forest" or "rural" cantons in 1291 — Schwyz, Unterwalden, and Uri. Ten further cantons entered the Confederation as follows: Lucerne (another "forest" canton) in 1332; Glarus and Zurich in 1351; Zug (also a "forest" canton) in 1352; Bern in 1353; Fribourg and Solothurn in 1481; Basel and Schaffhausen in 1501; and Appenzell in 1513. Nomi- nally, Switzerland was part of the Holy Roman Empire; but, by the Treaty of Basel of September 22, 1499, after a decisive Swiss victory over Emperor Maximilian's armies, the Confederation was assured of virtual political independence within the Empire. The Swiss were valiant soldiers; and by Zwingli's time, it had become customary to sell mercenary services (sometimes called "pensioning") to foreign powers, such as France, the Pope, and the Empire. During the second decade of the sixteenth century, Swiss troops fighting in Italy as mercenaries for the French suffered heavy losses — especially in 1515 at Marignano, where Zwingli himself was present as a chaplain. During the middle to late 1520s, four cantons converted quite thoroughly to the kind of evangelical faith promoted by Zwingli: namely, Zurich, Bern, Basel, and Schaffhausen. In Appenzell, some six of the eight districts also opted for the new faith; and Glarus was some- what more evenly divided between the two religious parties. On the other hand, cantons remaining staunchly within the Catholic camp were the five "forest cantons" of Lucerne, Schwyz, Unterwalden, Uri, and Zug, plus two cantons farther to the west — Fribourg and Solothurn. In addition to the thirteen cantons, there were in "Switzerland" various "allied districts," such as the Grisons ("Graubunden"), St. Gall, Neuchatel, and Valais. There were also "subject territories" or "com- mon bailiwicks," such as the Aargau, Thurgau, and Vaud. Most such territories became divided between the old and new faiths, but the Valais and certain other regions bordering on Italy adhered to Ca- tholicism. (Geneva, the Vaud, and Neuchatel eventually became Calvinistic.) Post-Zwinglian Switzerland saw various "allied districts" and "common bailiwicks" gain the status of cantons: Aargau, Geneva, Grisons, Neuchatel, St. Gall, Thurgau, Ticino, Valais, and Vaud. As for the city of Zurich itself, at the time of Zwingli's arrival in 1519 it was subject ecclesiastically to the Bishop of Constance—an allegiance broken as the city and canton turned Protestant. The politi- cal affairs were conducted by two burgomasters, a "Small Council" (Council of Fifty), and a "Great Council" (Council of Two Hundred).

Introduction Switzerland is a small alpine state in the west of Europe and it seems today to be one of the most privileged countries in the world. In its history, Switzerland has survived successfully and remained independent when its neighbors were engaged in destructive confl icts. Nowadays, the country, with more than 8.4 million permanent residents1, enjoys one of the highest living standards among industrialized countries and the political stability of Switzerland is impressive. This article describes how it is possible that a country with four languages, two religions and diff erent ethnic groups could achieve such a high level of political culture. However, it would be completely inaccurate to think of Switzerland as a country without historical, political or social unrest and armed confrontations. In Switzerland, direct democracy, as 1 Federal Statistical Offi ce: Population (2017) ― 120 ― Switzerland’s Political System 2nd updated and enlarged edition（Miroslav Vurma） a component to indirect democracy, was established in early 19th century and has been developed further since then. The right of citizens to be directly involved in political decision-making is the central part of the Swiss modern direct democracy.

    TBR’SEURO-AMERICANHERITAGEPROJECT:OFSWISSBLOOD The Swiss IF YOU ARE SWISS, YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE. Switzerland and America have some shared history, in- terests in common and, more importantly, a shared future. For such a small country, Switzerland has much to be proud of. In many ways Switzerland and America are similar—America is (at least theoretically) a federal union of 50 sov- ereign states, while Switzerland is a confederation of 26 full cantons. Switzerland was neutral until very recently, while America traditionally was neutral or non-interventionist until it was subverted by the likes of Woodrow Wilson and his fellow travelers. BY ARTHUR KEMP &JOHN TIFFANY witzerland is a small nation, about the size of Massa- chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island together, but a scenic one. Nestled in the Alps, it is one of the most mountainous countries in the world and is entirely sur- rounded by Germany, France, Italy, Austria and tiny SLiechtenstein. (Incidentally, the tallest mountain in Switzerland is one you may not have heard of, not the Matterhorn, but the Du- fourspitze, on the Swiss-Italian border at 15,771 feet. Mont Blanc, which is the tallest of the Alps, is actually in France.) Switzerland has many different names, among them: Schweiz- erische Eidgenossenschaft, Confédération Suisse, Confoederatio Helvetica, all of which mean, in various native languages and Latin, “Swiss Confederation.” The history of this land is very complex, and it is impossible to give more than a “nutshell” version in these pages, but the ear- liest recorded inhabitants of the country now known as Switzer- land were “Old Europeans” called the Rhaetians, who are believed to have been related to the mysterious Etruscans in Italy.

    Issue 4: Zwingli: Father of the Swiss Reformation Zwingli - Father of the Swiss Reformation: From the Publisher The 500th anniversary year of the birth of Ulrich Zwingli is a good time to take a new look at the Zurich reformer who died with a sword in his hand fighting for freedom to preach biblical faith. The Swiss historian Wilhelm Oechsli observed that if Zwingli was not the most important character in Swiss history, he was surely the most audacious and most colorful. Zwingli, bred a mountain man, was an amazing combination of intellect, passion, and wit. He was political to the core. But central to understanding his life and work is the fact that he became a devout student of Scripture. He was transformed and shaped by the Word, yet like all of us, his vision was limited by his own peculiar place and time—the freedom-loving city of Zurich in the early sixteenth century. From the vantage point of almost a half millennium, the weaknesses and mistakes of Zwingli as a Christian leader are as apparent as his many strengths. But who can say whether the future judgment of history on today’s church and its leaders will make our criticism of Zwingli appear pale in comparison? Who dare say what the judgment of God might be on our own shortness of vision and failures of charity? This is the fourth issue of this fledgling publication. To this point we have published Christian History on an “occasional” basis. Our prayer and our goal is to publish four issues a year on a regular schedule beginning in 1985.
