"[Bullinger] was the only major reformer of the second generation who devoted a full-length work to [the Book of Revelation]. Bullinger gives […] model sermons that could be adapted by preachers throughout the Reformed churches of Europe. The hundred sermons, which were first published in 1557, obviously filled an important gap in the market of Protestant apocalyptic thought, for these sermons were reprinted and translated into French, German and Dutch […]." (cf. www.narcis.nl). Published in Emden - safe haven for 16th-century Dutch Protestant refugees - 4 years before the first Synod of Emden in October 1571, generally considered to be the founding date of the Dutch Reformed Church. - Pettegree & Walsby 6192; Staedtke 352.
