About The Decades Of Henry Bullinger, 2 Volumes
Product Description Henry Bullinger was one of the most widely esteemed leaders of the Reformed Churches. The Decades was the most famous of the 150 treatises and manuscripts that he wrote. The Decades derives its name from being a series of fifty theological sermons divided into five groups of ten sermons each. Each sermon is a helpful, detailed exposition of an important doctrine. Combined, they encompass the field of theology in a form readable for the typical layperson. These sermons became more popular than Calvin's Institutes in England, and are here reprinted for the first time since 1850, together with a new introduction on Bullinger's life by George Ella and on The Decades by Joel R. Beeke. Table of Contents: First Decade of Sermons The Word of God The Word of God The Exposition of God's Word True Faith The Force of Faith Justification by Faith The Apostles' Creed, Articles 1-4 The Apostles' Creed, Articles 5-8 The Apostles' Creed, Articles 9-12 The Love of God and Our Neighbor Second Decade of Sermons The Law of Nature and of Men First and Second Commandments Third Commandment Fourth Commandment Fifth Commandment Sixth Commandment Sixth Commandment Sixth Commandment Sixth Commandment Seventh Commandment Third Decade of Sermons Eighth Commandment Eighth Commandment Eight Commandment Ninth and Tenth Commandments Ceremonial Laws of God Ceremonial Laws of God Judicial Laws of God Use, Fulfilling, and Abrogation of the Law Christian Liberty, Works, and Merits Sin Fourth Decade of Sermons The Gospel Repentance God Creation, Providence, and Predestination Adoring, Calling Upon, and Serving God The Son of God Our Lord Jesus Christ Christ's Kingdom and Priesthood The Holy Ghost Angels and Devils The Reasonable Soul of Man Fifth Decade of Sermons The Holy Catholic Church The Unity of the Church The Ministry of the Word of God The Ministry of the Word of God Prayer to God The Sacraments The Sacraments Holy Baptism The Lord's Holy Supper The Institutions of the Church Review This reprint of Bullinger's The Decades makes available a seminal survey of Christian teaching by one of the most significant of the second-generation Reformers. Both in their content and in their homiletical tone, The Decades offered the mid-sixteenth century a basic text from which Christian readers could learn both the content of the faith and the life of Christian obedience. Their importance is evidenced in the numerous printings both in Latin and in the vernacular that mark out the influence of The Decades among English, Dutch, and German-speaking Protestants. May this reprint enhance contemporary recognition of Bullinger's contribution to the Reformation. --Richard A. Muller, Calvin Theological Seminary What is impressive about The Decades is how contemporary Bullinger sounds on so many issues and how readable he still is more than 450 years after he wrote these sermons. Even today, Bullinger surefootedly guides us intellectually, experientially, and practically through the truths of Reformed doctrine that set us free and enable us to grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. --Joel R. Beeke, president, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary About the Author Henry Bullinger (1504-1575) was born in Bremgarten, Switzerland and became the best-known theologian in Britain during the Reformation era. He produced 86 works of Reformed theology at a time prior to Calvin's first edition of the Institutes of the Christian Religion. His overall writing output was larger than Luther, Calvin, and Melancthon combined. This thorough work was the reason he came to be called the Father and Shepherd of the Reformed churches.
