Description
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."

Heinrich Bullinger succeeded Ulrich Zwingli as the leader of the Reformed Protestants in Zurich. Modern scholars recognize that the Bullinger's works were more influencial at the time than previously thought. The Second Helvetic Confession, which replaced the more Lutheran First Helvetica, is not only Bullinger's most accessible work, but also the second most recognized Reformed document of the early Reformation, after the Heidelberg Catechism.The Second Helvetica gives a excellent overview of what Heinrich Bullinger taught. Some scholars state that this Confession may not be as precise as the Belgic Confession, yet the Second Swiss Confession has a warmth that lead to its popular appeal. I find the Second Helvetic Confession to be my favorite of the early Reformed Confession.Bullinger was actually more popular in England than John Calvin in England during the English Reformation. Bullinger's "Decades", a 5 volume set of 10 sermons each, saw many more printings in England than Calvin's Institutes. The Decades were used in the Anglican Church for the same purpose that others used the Institutes. This is because Bullinger believed Reformed Christians were better off not breaking fellowship with the Church of England, although Bullinger himself was more of a Presbyterian.Read the Second Helvetica Confession along with the other early Reformed Confessions. The anthology of Reformed Confessions assembled by John Thomas, also available for Kindle, is a good book for this purpose.
