Commentarius de vera et falsa religione, Commentary on True and False Religion, is Huldrych Zwingli's own 1525 work, composed in Zurich, in which he set out his reading of Christ's words of institution at the Last Supper and argued against a doctrine of bodily presence in the bread and wine of the eucharist. As Zwingli's own primary text, it is the direct and authoritative source for the Reformed tradition's founding argument on this specific point, in the reformer's own words. Its limit is that it is one side of an active theological controversy of its own time, not a neutral historical account of the wider eucharistic debate among the different Reformation traditions, which this atlas addresses through other sources representing those other positions as well.
