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. Removing him from the shadows, Heinrich Bullinger and the Doctrine of Predestination offers an evaluation of this important theologian. Cornelis Venema examines key writings of Bullinger, 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.

Despite the fact that Heinrich Bullinger was one of the most significant and influential figures in the development of Reformed theology in the sixteenth century, he has not always been interpreted contextually. Cornelis Venema has provided us with a carefully researched and thoughtfully argued reassessment of Bullingerís doctrine of predestination and soteriology. Venemaís work presents a significant challenge to those who find in Bullinger the source of a competing Reformed tradition distinct from Calvin and Reformed orthodoxy. R. Scott Clark, Westminster Theological Seminary in California
