Born in Canterbury, England, his family traced its lineage back to the noted Swiss reformer Heinrich Bullinger (1504-1557). He was educated at King's College, London, and gained recognition in the field of Biblical languages.
E.W. Bullinger was noted broadly for three works: A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament (1877); for his ground-breaking and exhaustive work on Figures of Speech Used in the Bible (1898); and as the primary editor of The Companion Bible (published in 6 parts, beginning in 1909; the entire annotated Bible was published posthumously in 1922). All three of these works, along with numerous of his books and pamphlets, remain in print (2004).
In 1881, four years after the publication of the Lexicon and Concordance, Archibald Campbell Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury conferred upon Bullinger a Doctor of Divinity degree, citing Bullinger's "eminent service in the Church in the department of Biblical criticism."

E. Ethelbert William Bullinger was born on December 15 in Canterbury, England.
In his usual clarity and attention to detail, E. Bullinger demonstrates from the Scriptures that the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is of far more relevance to Israel than to the church, the Body of Christ.
Bullinger was never a man to shy away from a problem and with his usual thoroughness and attention to detail, with his great knowledge of the original words and their usage, and by considering the context and background; he has produced a solution which will be of interest to all students of the Word.
