BULLINGER, HEINRICH Swiss reformer, son of Dean Heinrich Bullinger by his wife Anna, was born at Bremgarten, Aargau, July 18, 1504. He studied at Emmerich and Cologne, where the teaching of Peter Lombard led him, through Augustine and Chrysostom, to first-hand study of the Bible; he then began to read the writings of Luther and Melanchthon. Ap pointed teacher (1522) in the cloister school of Cappel, he lec tured on Melanchthon's Loci Communes (1 5 2 I ) . He heard Zwingli at Zurich in 1527 and in 1528 accompanied him to the disputa tion at Berne. He was made pastor of Bremgarten in 1529, and married Anna Adlischweiler, a nun, by whom he had I I children. After the battle of Cappel (Oct. 11, 1531), in which Zwingli fell, he left Bremgarten, and on Dec. 9 he was chosen to succeed Zwingli as chief pastor of Zurich. A strong writer and thinker, his spirit was essentially unifying and sympathetic, in an age when these qualities won little sympathy. His controversies on the Lord's Supper with Luther, and his correspondence with Lelio Sozini (see Soelrrus), exhibit, in different connections, his admir able mixture of dignity and tenderness. With Calvin he concluded (1549) the Consensus Tigurinus on the Lord's Supper. The (sec ond) Helvetic Confession (1566), adopted in Switzerland, Hun gary, Bohemia, and elsewhere, was his work. The volumes of the Zurich Letters, published by the Parker Society, testify to his in fluence on the English reformation in later stages. Many of his sermons were translated into English (reprinted, 1849). His works, mainly expository and polemical, have not been collected.
