Helvetic Confessions. The First Helvetic Confession was compiled at Basle in 1536 by H.
Bullinger and others as a uniform confession of faith for the whole of German-speaking Switzerland. The Second Helvetic Confession was the work of Bullinger, issued in 1566 in response to a request from the Elector-Palatine
Frederick III, who had announced his adhesion to
Calvinism. It soon won acceptance not only among the Swiss Protestant Churches but among other ‘Reformed’ (i.e. Calvinists) outside Switzerland.
