Synopsis

Book Description:

"The Second Helvetic Confession Latin: Confessio Helvetica posterior gained a favourable hold on the Swiss churches, who had found the First Confession too short and too Lutheran. It was adopted by the Reformed Church not only throughout Switzerland but in Scotland (1566), Hungary (1567), France (1571), Poland (1578), and next to the Heidelberg Catechism is the most generally recognized Confession of the Reformed Church."

About the Author

About the Author:

"Heinrich Bullinger (July 18, 1504 - September 17, 1575) was a Swiss reformer, the successor of Huldrych Zwingli as head of the Zurich church and pastor at Grossmünster. A much less controversial figure than John Calvin or Martin Luther, his importance has long been underestimated. Recent research showed, though, that he was one of the most influential Reformed theologians of the 16th century." (Quote from wikipedia.org)
