The Decades of Henry Bullinger include 50 godly and learned sermons, divided into five decades containing the chief and principal points of Christian Religion. Each sermon in the 4-volume collection is a culmination of multiple sermons given on the topic and encompasses his lifelong ministry—over 1,800 pages of sermons and related material. The Decades are meant to encourage, uplift and inspire ministers to uphold their high calling of preaching God's word. Bullinger implores, "But let the ministers of our time well weigh the condition and manner of the time; and then, no doubt, they shall see that it is high time to bestir them to the doing of their duties." He provides careful admonishment for shepherds to guard their flocks against the enemy and stand vigilant to promote truth and godliness.
The collection opens with a riveting explanation of Bullinger's works in the preface of First and Second Decades, boldly exclaiming his focus and passion for preaching and teaching. Bullinger then covers the Four General Synods, or Councils, and provides historical significance and relevance of the various creeds that came from these councils. The sermons that follow resonate with sympathy, love, grace, and tenderness not indicative of his time. With a passion for truth and God's word, Bullinger delivers messages that spurred and shaped the Reformation, yet still impact today's church.
