The place and understanding of the doctrine of God in Heinrich Bullinger's theology [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The article examines the place of, and the main emphases in, the doctrine of God in Bullinger's theology. In comprehensive presentations of his theology, the doctrine of God generally follows that of the Word of God. He usually begins with God as one (against the role of creatures such as the saints and images) and God as three. The other main elements (besides the knowledge of God) are God as creator, his providence and his predestination, usually in that order. Underlying all of them is the stress on God's goodness. Highlighted is Bullinger's appeal throughout to the Bible and Church Fathers, often identifying the views of his opponents with early Church heresies. This appeal also supports his claim to orthodoxy and catholicity, as do the creeds in his prefaces to The Decades and to The Second Helvetic Confession. His underlying pastoral and practical concerns are evident.
