Heinrich Bullinger
Consolidation the Reformation

Bullinger was Zwingli’s successor. For 44 years he pastored Grossmunster in Zurich. Considering the important role he played, and the prodigious quantity of his writings, it is remarkable that Bullinger is one of the least known of the Reformers.

CONVERSION
Born 18 July 1504, the fifth son of the priest, Henry Bullinger, Heinrich was sent to study at the prestigious Emmerich Seminary on the Rhine, at aged 12. At 15 years old, he enrolled at the University in Cologne, earning his Bachelor of Arts the next year. It was at this time that he was converted to the Reformed faith through studying the Latin and Greek fathers of the Church.

Free Enterprise and the Work Ethic
Along with some of the greatest art and literature, the Reformation brought about the greatest industrial advances, productivity and prosperity ever experienced in history.

Productivity and Prosperity
The Protestant work ethic, which helped to bring about great productivity and prosperity in Western Europe and North America, arose mostly through the Protestant Reformers - particularly John Calvin. "The most dynamic businessmen were to be found in Protestant Holland and the most vigorous industrial growth in Protestant England, both states heavily tinctured with Calvinism." (Historian Richard Dunn).

Terrorism is an ugly reality in the world today. How can we as Christians combat terrorism without sinking down to their level? What methods have we used to reach guerrillas with the Gospel? Is it feasible to evangelise your enemies? What resources are available for those who want to transform terrorists and regenerate revolutionaries? What can each one of us do to counteract and undermine terrorism? “The Lord will be awesome to them when He destroys all the gods of the land. The nations on every shore will worship Him, everyone in their own land.” Zephaniah 2:11
