Biographical history

George Bullock was an English Roman Catholic theologian. He studied at Cambridge and had become a College fellow by 1538. He was one of the appellants who challenged the governance of John Taylor. Although many of his fellow appellants left the College, Bullock remained. Uncomfortable with the protestant leanings of Edward VI, Bullock fled to the Netherlands. Bulllock returned to England after Mary's accession to the throne. He returned to Cambridge and took a degree of BTh in 1554 and on 12 May was elected Master of St John's.

He became Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity in 1556 and graduated Doctor of Divinity in 1557. He was appointed vicar of St Sepulchre-without-Newgate in 1556, and later the same year rector of Great Munden. On the accession of Elizabeth I he was deprived of all his positions, when he refused to take the Oath of Supremacy.

Bullock once again left for the continent and travelled to Paris where he was invited to take refuge in the monastery at Ninove in the Netherlands. He remained at Ninove for eight years before moving to Antwerp where he printed Oeconomia methodica concordantiarum scripturae sacrae.

Bullock died in 1572 a few months after the publication of his book.
