Heinrich Bullinger (1504-1575), Swiss reformed theologian, and Zwingli’s successor as the head of the Zurich reformed church, was one of the most influential ministers of the protestant reformation, who also had a significant impact on English puritanism. Bullinger first preached his sermons on the Apocalypse to his congregation between 1555 and 1556. Among those in attendance were English exiles, recent arrivals seeking safe harbour in the wake of Mary’s accession. Neither Zwingli, Calvin, Bucer nor Vermigli wrote a systematic study of Revelation and so Bullinger’s commentary was the most important early exposition of the book from a Reformed perspective. It was translated from the Latin by John Daus of Ipswich in 1561, with a second edition (as here) issued in 1573.
