<P> Huldrych Zwingli , whose theology is considered the first expression of Reformed theology was appointed to ministry in Zürich , Switzerland , in 1519 . He was influenced by Renaissance humanist Desiderius Erasmus , which led him to study the New Testament and the early Church Fathers as well as to preach from the Bible . Zwingli was also aware of and influenced by the Wittenberg reformer Martin Luther , but he developed his theology independently and differed with him in several ways . Zwingli opposed any religious practice for which he could find no scriptural justification , such as the use of images , organs , and singing in worship while Luther actively opposed the destruction of images in churches . Zwingli 's emphasis on strict adherence to God 's command as found in his word also lead to greater moral activism in Zwinglian Reformation movements than in Lutheran ones . </P>
