Emidio Campi (born 30 September 1943) is a Swiss historian.
As a church historian, he is a specialist in the Reformation in Italy and Switzerland, and has researched and published articles on John Calvin, Peter Martyr Vermigli, Huldrich Zwingli, Heinrich Bullinger and other reformers.
[5] Campi retired on 1 August 2009, following which he was undertook various positions as visiting professor in Montreal, Beirut, Buenos Aires, Lincoln (Nebraska), Grand Rapids (Michigan), New York City, Genoa, Modena and Seoul.
[6] 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.
