who are these reformers?

[Jesusthekingofking]

I only know Martin Luther (top left) and (top right) Philip Melanchthon. Anyone familiar with the reformers?

 

[Quid est Veritas?]

First Row: Martin Luther, John Wycliffe, John Oecolampadius, Huydrich Zwingli, Philip Melancthon.
Second row: Peter Martyr, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Cranmer

At least that is my opinion.

William Tyndale
- He was a pioneer in Bible translation ( English ).
----
One of my favorite Reformers..

 

[Bob Crowley]

He was executed by the actions of the (Protestant) Henry VIII.

What exactly was William Tyndale executed for? - Quora.

I think you answered more correct names than I did, so well done for that. However I think the person you named Zwingli actually is Erasmus :




desiderius erasmus

ulrich zwingli

Looks like Zwingli didn't even make this persons list? Even though he Reformed Roman Catholic Switzerland.

Erasmus is not a Protestant (or proto-Protestant like Wycliffe), although his ideas and work helped usher in the Reformation. He doesn't really belong in that line-up, I feel. They should substitute Zwingli in the picture, or Jan Hus.

I would agree to that.

Zwingli barely gets a mention when mentioning the reformation, which is odd considering the impact he made.

Second from the upper left is John Wycliffe.

I’m surprised Martin Bucer is missing - & no Olaus Petri, no Peter Martyr Vermigli, no Heinrich Bullinger, no no Menno Simons, no Andreas Osiander, no Sebastian Castellio, no Bernardino Ochino either. These were all important figures, representing different strands of Protestantism - especially if one includes John of Leiden & Fausto Sozzini, the latter of whom founded Socinianism. If a second-generation Protestant like John Knox (who died in 1572), or John Calvin, qualifies for a mention, I think Matthew Parker, the second Protestant Archbishop of Canterbury (1559-75) also qualifies.

It’s curious to include Erasmus as one of the Protestant Reformers. And in my humble opinion, Wycliffe only belongs among them if one looks back on him with a Protestant POV. Jan Hus probably has a better claim to be a proto-Protestant.

A lot of that is because Zwingli takes a lot of the blame for laying the foundation to go from sola scriptura to nuda scriptura. If the anabaptist movement had survived he would be more robustly known.
