Calvin Zwingli Brother Klaus Shapers Of The Faith (DVD)
$14.99John Calvin, Ulrich Zwingli, and Brother Klaus (Niklaus von Flue) were three very different men who shaped the Christian faith in Switzerland.

With this docu-drama, award-winning filmmaker Rainer Walde celebrates the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and the 600th anniversary of the birth of Brother Klaus, Switzerland’s most famous saint. In comparing and contrasting these three figures, we see how the practice of the faith changed in Switzerland in the late Middle Ages. These changes would ultimately impact the entire world.

Teaming up with journalist WT Stead, the Army tackled the sexual trafficking business that entrapped hundreds of young girls.This DVD features 11 historians and storytellers, voice artists, period music, over 500 images, rare archival footage, and recordings from two Booth grandchildren.
