Abstract

Bible translators have, through inattention to figures of speech, made serious translation blunders, clouding real meaning of many important passages of God's Word. E. W. Bullinger's volume, first published in 1898, clarifies 217 distinct figures of speech used in Bible. Walter C. Kaiser, dean of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, calls it the best handbook on figures of speech. It should be on every exegete's shelf. In systematic order, this classic gives proper pronunciation of each figure of speech, its etymology or origin, and a number of Scripture passages where figure of speech is used, giving full explanation of its use in each context. Figures of Speech Used in Bible cites nearly eight thousand Bible passages and includes five appendices and seven indexes, making it even more valuable as a reference tool.
