Johannes Oecolampadius

A German-born humanist, theologian, and Protestant Reformer. Active primarily in Basel, he formed a close friendship with Huldrych Zwingli and played a major role in shaping Reformed theology. He was a primary Protestant representative at the Baden Disputation in 1526 and participated in the Bern Disputation in 1528. In 1529, he became the Antistes (chief pastor) of the Reformed Church in Basel, and he also clashed with Martin Luther regarding Eucharistic theology.
