He studied at See also:Emmerich and See also:Cologne, where the teaching of See also:Peter Lombard led him, through See also:Augustine and See also:Chrysostom, to first-See also:hand study of the See also:Bible . Next the writings of See also:Luther and See also:Melanchthon appealed to him . Appointed teacher (1522) in the See also:cloister school of See also:Cappel, he lectured on Melanchthon's Loci Communes (1521) . He heard See also:Zwingli at See also:Zurich in 1527, and next See also:year accompanied him to the disputation at Berne . He was made pastor of Bremgarten in 1529, and married Anna Adlischweiler, a See also:nun, by whom he had eleven See also:children . After the See also:battle of Cappel (Irth of See also:October 1531), in which Zwingli See also:fell, he See also:left Bremgarten . On the 9th of See also:December 1531 he was chosen to succeed Zwingli as See also:chief pastor of Zurich . A strong writer and thinker, his spirit was essentially unifying and sympathetic, in an See also:age when these qualities won little sympathy . His controversies on the See also:Lord's Supper with Luther, and his See also:correspondence with Lelio Sozini (see SoelNus), exhibit, in different connexions, his admirable mixture of dignity and tenderness . With See also:Calvin he concluded (1549) the Consensus Tigurinus on the Lord's Supper . The (second) Helvetic See also:Confession (1566) adopted in See also:Switzerland, See also:Hungary, Bohemia and elsewhere, was his See also:work . The volumes of the Zurich Letters, published by the See also:Parker Society, testify to his See also:influence on the See also:English See also:reformation in later stages . Many of his sermons were translated into English (reprinted, 4 vols., 1849) . His See also:works, mainly expository and polemical, have not been collected . He died at Zurich on the 17th of See also:September 1575 . See Carl See also:Pestalozzi, Leben (1858); Raget Christoffel, H . Bullinger (1875); Justus Heer, in Hauck's Realencyklopadie (1897) .
