Solution
Zwingli’s Teachings:
Zwingli accepted the Bible’s supremacy as the “Universal Priesthood of all Believers.” That means priests did not constitute a class separate from laypeople. All Believers should be regarded as priests.
Zwingli considered the Lord’s Supper as a thanks-giving ceremony. According to him, the Gift of Gospel is God’s biggest favor (Grace) for which Mankind is expressing its Gratitude. He believed in the “total rebirth of humanity and society”. He fought for people’s right to control the church and the city’s religious affairs.
