About the author
Born in Canterbury, England, in 1837, Ethelbert William Bullinger was an Anglican clergyman, scholar, and prolific religious writer. He studied at King’s College London and later served in church ministry while building a strong reputation for his work on biblical languages and interpretation.
Bullinger is best remembered for reference works and studies such as Figures of Speech Used in the Bible, The Companion Bible, and Number in Scripture. His writing often focused on patterns, structure, and symbolism in the biblical text, and he became an influential voice among readers drawn to dispensational and ultradispensational ideas.
He died in 1913, but his work continues to circulate in print and digital editions. For many readers, his appeal lies in the sheer intensity of his close reading: he approached the Bible as a text whose wording, arrangement, and recurring themes all mattered deeply.
