Beschreibungen
Heinrich Bullinger (1504-75) was an important and influential sixteenth-century Protestant Reformer. Sadly, today, many are unaware of his significance. This book serves as a gateway into understanding Bullinger's life and theology, introducing them in a fresh and accessible way for non-specialists. After outlining Bullinger's life-story, the main theological themes in Bullinger's thought are explored through chapters on Holy Scripture, God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, predestination and covenant, sin and salvation, church and ministry, Word and Sacraments, the state, and last things. A concluding chapter considers the abiding significance of Bullinger's theology and what his views can mean for faithful Christian living today.
Donald K. McKim is a former seminary dean, professor of theology, and executive editor for theology for Westminster John Knox Press. He is a retired minister of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

“The Swiss Reformer Heinrich Bullinger is not well known in English-speaking services, as so few of his works are available in English. McKim and West are to be applauded for their comprehensive introduction to the life, ministry, and thought of Bullinger. This book provides an extensive overview of Bullinger’s contribution to the Reformation. Readers will be inspired to know more about his significance for the Reformation.”

<br> “Hardly a marginal figure in his own day, Heinrich Bullinger will gain a wider hearing in ours thanks to this accessible introduction. McKim and West expertly curate the great Reformer’s words on various topics to bring his voice to life for new and diverse audiences. Students and church study groups alike will especially appreciate the discussion questions that invite deeper reflection on Bullinger’s pastoral and practical teaching on the Christian life.”

The questions for discussion at the end of each chapter make it perfect for the thoughtful individual as well as for book clubs/church groups. Readers of West and McKim’s text will find lucid and extremely thoughtful discussion of a major sixteenth-century Reformer whose thought and life are fully deserving of treatment. A wonderful work, and highly recommended.”

<br> “The Reformer Heinrich Bullinger is little known. It is accordingly unknown that it is he who has decisively shaped the doctrine of Reformed Protestantism. In this little book, West and McKim succeed brilliantly in giving a publicly understandable introduction to Bullinger’s life and theology for the first time. To all who are interested in the origins of the archetypal Reformed doctrines, this book is highly recommended!”
