Ethelbert William Bullinger (December 15, 1837 – June 6, 1913) was a Vicar of the Church of England and Biblical scholar.

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. This recognition was world-wide in spite of some sniping from the so-called “Plymouth Brethren” due to his having a different interpretation of the Dispensations to many of them.

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). He was also responsible almost single-handed for the magazine “Things To Come” from which many of the articles we have are reproduced.
