What protestant reformers believed in justification by faith alone?

Question

besides Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli?

Answer 1

First, note that "justification by faith alone" was a hallmark of both the Lutheran and Reformed branches of the Reformation (including Reformed offshoots in the Anglican and Presbyterian churches).

Here is a list of other leading 16th century Protestant Reformers (some connected to Luther, some to the Swiss Reformation [and so to Zwingli and/or Calvin], and to the English Reformation). Though they differed on various things (esp the Lutherans vs. the Reformed), they ALL would have spoken of the importance of "justification by faith alone"

Lutheran (Germany): Philip Melanchthon
Martin Bucer

"Reformed" (Swtizerland, etc)
Theodore Beza, Heinrich Bullinger

British Isles (strongly influenced by Geneva, that is, Calvin, et.al.)
England (mostly 'Anglican'): William Tyndale, Hugh Latimer, Nicholas Ridley, Thomas Cromwell, Thomas Cranmer, Richard Hooker

Scotland (Presbyterian): John Knox

Answer 2

John Knox, Richard Hooker, William Tyndale, Theodore Beza ,
John Wycliffe, Martin Bucer. I am not sure if John Hus was a believer in justification by faith, however he and Wycliffe were early proponents of a reformation of the Roman Catholic church.

Answer 4

i presumed you hated Martin Luther? So, what you're telling me is, while that is handy for you, you help what he wrote and use *that* as a weapon against protestants, and while it is not you rail against what he wrote and use *that* as a weapon against protestants?
