Heinrich Bullinger is one of the most important figures of the Reformed heritage, yet his theological contribution is often overlooked by those familiar with his more famous contemporaries: Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli. Cornelis Venema examines Bullinger's key writings, analyzes his doctrine of predestination, and argues for continuity between Bullinger and the later Reformed tradition. This book will sharpen the church's understanding of its Reformed heritage while paying tribute to Bullinger as a central figure in its development.
