The Reformed tradition, as its name suggests, emerged as a result of the 16th-century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches view themselves as the reformed version of the Catholic Church. The movement originated from the reform initiatives of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. While the Reformed movement drew inspiration from numerous Protestant leaders, it is Calvin's tireless efforts as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social and ecclesiastical reformer that laid the foundation for the Reformed tradition. Today, the Reformed churches have become a global phenomenon, characterized by their multicultural, multiethnic, and multinational nature.
