About the author
Born in Canterbury, England, in 1837, Ethelbert William Bullinger became an Anglican clergyman, biblical scholar, and prolific religious writer. He studied at King's College London, served in the Church of England, and was also connected with the Trinitarian Bible Society.
Bullinger is remembered mainly for his Bible reference works, especially The Companion Bible, along with books on figures of speech, number in scripture, and New Testament word studies. His approach was unusually systematic and often bold, which helped his books stand out and gave them a long afterlife among serious Bible readers.
He died in 1913, but his work continues to be read by people interested in biblical interpretation, dispensational thought, and older devotional scholarship. Even readers who do not share all his conclusions often find his energy, range, and attention to textual detail memorable.
