An Introduction to His Life and Theology

Written by Donald K. McKim and Jim West

Swiss theologian 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.

Recommendations

"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." -Joe Mock, Pastor, Gracepoint Presbyterian Church, Australia

"This is a marvelous book! The writing is clear and accessible. 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." -Jon Balserak, author of Calvinism: A Very Short Introduction
