Pastoral Ponderings
As we commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, here are 10 important people of the Reformation you should know. While many other people contributed to the success of the Protestant Church, these people set the stage and helped lead God’s Church in a new direc-tion.
John Wycliffe (c. 1329-1384) Often referred to as the “Morning Star of the Reforma-tion,” Wycliffe was an English theologian best known for being the first to translate the Bible into English. He rejected papal authority and is considered the primary precursor of the Reformation. Jan Hus (c. 1369-1415) Influenced by Wycliffe, Hus was a Czech priest who advocated for church reform. He was burned at the stake after being convicted of heresy, initiating the Hussite Wars, in which his followers rebelled against Roman Catholic rulers. These first two men influenced Luther and the Reformation which would not have happened without them. Johannes Gutenberg (c. 1398-1468) The inventor of movable type printing in Europe, Guten-berg started the Printing Revolution, which played a key role in the Reformation, spreading printed works on Reformation ideas throughout Europe. Without this in-vention, the Reformation would have never gained the support of so many people. The movable printing press was the key to the success of the Reformation. Martin Luther (1483-1546) Luther sought many of the same reforms that others—including one of his heroes, Hus—had advocated for earlier. But it was the German monk who set in motion a series of events that would reshape Western civilization. Johann von Staupitz (c. 1460-1524) The vicar of the Augustinian order at the University of Wittenberg, von Staupitz supervised the young Luther during a difficult spiritual season. While von Staupitz was not himself a Reformer, his emphasis on God’s grace would heavily influence Luther. Von Staupitz is best known as Luther’s pastor and mentor prior to the nailing of the 95 theses on the Church door in Witten-berg, Germany.

Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) The central founding figure of the Swiss Reformation, Zwingli was a priest who led an alliance of reformed Swiss Confederation cantons against Roman Catholic cantons. Zwingli was killed in battle, but Zurich would remain a Protestant city. Before his death, Zwingli would later debate and argue with Luther about Reformation theology, and would become a thorn in Luther’s side post Reformation. Andreas Karlstadt (1486-1541) This German theologian and professor was an early sup-porter of Luther. Karlstadt eventually broke with him over a desire to push for more radical reform. While we celebrate the Lutheran Reformation as successful and re-member it as the precursor to the Lutheran Church today, it is important to remember the goal was not to break away, but simply to reform the church as Luther knew it. Many people saw the need for change, but failed to fol-low when the church split. Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560) Widely viewed as the intellectual and educational leader of the Lutheran Reformation, Melanchthon published the first Protestant systematic theology text, “Loci Com-munes,” and also helped author much of the Book of Concord along with Luther and others. He succeeded Lu-ther as de facto Reformation leader. Katharina von Bora (c. 1499-1552) After becoming interested in the Reformation movement, von Bora fled her life as a nun in secrecy with the help of Luther. In 1525, she and Luther wed. Von Bora ran the family’s finances, including dealing with Luther’s pub-lishers. John Calvin (1509-1564) The most prominent figure of the Reformation’s second generation, French theologian Calvin worked to reform the church in Geneva, Switzerland. His “Institutes of the Christian Religion” helped form the basis for Calvinism, or the Reformed tradition. Mt. Tabor continues the legacy of the Reformation and continues in the great history of these men and women that discerned God’s call for change, and who acted with great courage and vigor to see God’s will be done. And for that we can say with confi-dence and hope, Thanks be to God! *much of the information for this article was taken from the “Living Lutheran” website. www.livinglutheran.org
