Sozzini's theological difficulties turned on the resurrection of the body, predestination, the ground of salvation ( on these points he corresponded with Calvin ), the doctrinal basis of the original gospel ( his queries to Bullinger ), the nature of repentance ( to Rudolph Gualther ), the sacraments ( to Johann Wolff ).

Bullinger, at the instance of correspondents ( including Calvin ), questioned Sozzini as to his faith, and received from him an explicitly orthodox confession ( reduced to writing on the 15th of July 1555 ), with a frank reservation of the right of further inquiry.

Bullinger was editor of a monthly journal Things to Come subtitled A Journal of Biblical Literature, with Special Reference to Prophetic Truth.
