Heinrich Bullinger was born on July 18, 1504, the youngest of five sons, to a parish priest in Bremgarten, Switzerland near Zurich.

 Heinrich Bullinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heinrich Bullinger (July 18, 1504 - September 17, 1575) was a Swiss reformer, the successor of Huldrych Zwingli as head of the Zurich church.
Bullinger arrived with his wife and two little children in Zurich, where he already on the Sunday after his arrival stood in Zwingli's pulpit in the Great Minster and, according to a contemporary description, "thundered a sermon from the pulpit that many thought Zwingli was not dead but resurrected like the phoenix".
Bullingers hospitality and charity was exemplary and Zurich accepted many protestant fugitives from northern Italy (Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi was a descendant of such fugitives) and after the death of Henry VIII also from England.

 Bullinger: Man of Reconcilliation

In Zurich, Bullinger's great concern was to steady the precarious equilibrium of the emerging democracy, poised between the perils of anarchy and tyranny, by acting in word and deed according to the patient and conciliatory wisdom intelligence proffers in the Timaeus.
Heinrich Bullinger was not really in the habit of giving voice to his delight in beauty, but there are instances when he does.

Heinrich Bullinger’s A Brief Exposition of the One and Eternal Testament or Covenant of God (1534) was the first book devoted to the subject of the covenant in 1500 years of the Christian church.
Bullinger, like Ulrich Zwingli whom he succeeded in Zurich, was drawn to the study of the covenant, in part, in order to refute the Anabaptists, who advocated the baptism of believers only and rejected the baptism of the seed of believers.
Bullinger did, however, teach that the covenant is a "pact" or "agreement." After a brief introduction (BE 101), he begins his Brief Exposition with a study of the etymologies of three words for covenant (Hebrew: berith; Greek: diatheke; Latin: testamentum; BE 101-103).
