A reference system for biblical figures of speech

E. W. Bullinger organizes biblical figures of speech into three broad groups: omission, addition, and change. The reference also distinguishes how a figure may affect words, sense, meaning, order, or application. Greek and English terminology is paired with examples and illustrations, while appendices and multiple indexes provide routes through figures, subjects, structures, texts, and Hebrew and Greek words. Its classification and lookup features make the book useful as a study aid for examining how language works across biblical passages.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Bible scholars seeking a structured reference on figures of speech
  • Theologians studying biblical language and interpretation
  • Readers who value indexed reference works with Greek and English terminology

Book overview

Figures of Speech Used in the Bible is an extensive reference book and study guide for serious Bible scholars. Written by famous theologian E.W. Bullinger, this dictionary of phrases classifies them into three distinct divisions: figures involving omission, addition, and change. He further breaks down whether figures affect the words themselves, the sense, meaning, order, or application of words. It includes both Greek and English translations of the figures in question, examples and illustrations, a detailed table of contents, appendices, and several indexes, including indexes of figures in both Greek and English, of subjects, structures, and texts, and of Hebrew and Greek words explained. This comprehensive study tool should be considered necessary for any serious Bible scholar or theologian.
