From the early Jewish prophets to the reformers of the Protestant Reformation, disruption to tradition has often resulted from a pronounced criticism that opened the floor to new dialogue. Jeremiah and Zwingli are two individuals who began the conversations that drove reformation. While centuries apart, Jeremiah's and Zwingli's messages have striking similarities in their condemning of the religious community's insincere practices; however, they differ in their respective societal position, means of staking their claims, and intended audiences that ultimately distinguishes a prophet from a reformer.
