E. W. Bullinger uses his expertise in theology to break down phrases, reflecting upon their meaning, use, connotations and applications. Every language has its figures of speech and, understanding Hebrew and Greek phrases are the keys to understanding the Bible. Deciphering the real meaning of important passages of the Bible, E.W. Bullinger systematically organizes the phrases, listing their etymologies, origin and significance by the number of appearances. This Christian classic is ideal of correcting figures of speech, helping its readers to sift through the private interpretations to find the standard. As the book was compiled before electronic tools and computerized searches; it serves as an effective encyclopedia on Bible study and secular literature. It provides scope in speech, idioms and related content. Bullinger provides a detailed explanation of over eight thousand passages from the Bible, making it the best handbook and an invaluable resource tool that should be on every shelf.
