Final answer:

Zwingli's theology differed from Luther's in terms of beliefs about communion, religious imagery, clerical celibacy, and purgatory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ulrich (Huldrych) Zwingli had a different theology compared to Martin Luther in several ways. Zwingli rejected the Catholic belief of transubstantiation, which held that Jesus was physically present in the communion wine and wafer. He also called for the removal of religious imagery from churches, banned organs, shut monasteries and convents, and printed the Bible in German. Additionally, Zwingli differed from Luther in his rejection of clerical celibacy and the idea of purgatory.
