==== ''The Decades'' ====
Bullinger's main theological work was the ''Dekaden'', or ''The Decades'', which is a compilation of 50 sermons that Bullinger published from 1549 to 1551.<ref name=":6">{{Cite magazine |last=Campi |first=Emidio |date=2004 |title=Bullinger the Theologian |url=https://www.der-nachfolger.ch/content/e850/e793/Annex_01_16_Engl._2004.pdf |magazine=Annex |location=Zürich |publisher=Beilage zur Reformierten Presse |pages=3–6 |issn=1420-9934}}</ref> Many regard ''The Decades'' to be comparable to Calvin's ''[[Institutes of the Christian Religion]]'' and [[Peter Martyr Vermigli]]'s ''Loci communes'' as an early Reformed theological explication.<ref name=":6" /> Though in sermon form, it was likely never actually delivered by Bullinger, but only written in imitation of the sermonic form. They are structured upon the [[Ten Commandments]], the [[Apostles' Creed]], the [[Lord's Prayer]], and the two Protestant sacraments. The work was quickly translated from Latin into German, French, Dutch, and English, and was one of the most popular Protestant theological works in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Indeed, it was so essential that it was termed "house book" by German and Dutch translators. The Dutch, at points, even required a copy of the book to be in all Dutch trading vessels by law, which led to its spread into America and Asia.<ref name=":42">{{Cite book |last=Opitz |first=Peter |title=Architect of Reformation: An Introduction to Heinrich Bullinger, 1504-1575 |publisher=Baker Academic |year=2004 |isbn=9780801028991 |editor-last=Gordon |editor-first=Bruce |series=Texts and Studies in Reformation and Post-Reformation Thought |location=Grand Rapids |pages=101–116 |chapter=Bullinger's ''Decades'': Instruction in Faith and Conduct |editor-last2=Campi |editor-first2=Emidio}}</ref>
