Distinctions

He is one of the world's leading scholars of the Church,[7] and particularly the Reformation (along with Peter Opitz and Christian Moser and Herman Selderhuis),[8] and has lectured extensively on the Reformation[5] and those who drove it, for instance, Arnold of Brescia,[9][10] and Luther.[3] Notably, he has suggested that the sixteenth-century Swiss Reformers Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin were advocates of a Social market economy; for example, Calvin, Campi says, "would have decisively combated every system that takes social injustice as a given, because in his eyes, social injustice is an offense to the Creator."[11]
