Abstract
Abstract This book proposes that the covenant theology initiated by Huldreich Zwingli (1484–1531) and substantially shaped by Heinrich Bullinger (1504–1575) influenced later developments in Reformed covenant theology more fundamentally than previously assumed. Where previous scholarship held the different Reformed traditions to be in tension, this study identifies continuities running from Zwingli and Bullinger to John Calvin and early orthodox formulations in Heidelberg. A close reading of an unprecedented range of sources, both printed and in manuscript, allows us to see how after Zwingli’s covenantal turn in mid-1525, two particular elements became threads running through covenant theology: union with Christ as the realization of the covenant and the concept of a prelapsarian covenant.
