Bullinger Figures of Speech Used in the Bible Explained and Illustrated (Dictionary format)

This is E.W. Bullinger’s “Figures of Speech Used in the Bible Explained and Illustrated.” However, it is in .dct.twm format. This module already/also exists as an ebook module.

For those interested in reading Bullinger’s Figures of Speech, I recommend the .gbk.twm version. For those interested in using Bullinger’s Figures of Speech, I highly recommend this dictionary format. Why? Bullinger Figures of Speech (124 downloads )

Let’s say you’re reading a commentary, and the writer mentions the word “metonymy.” You know that Bullinger wrote about it, but how do you find it in TW’s .gbk.twm module? Not very easily! But if you set your dictionary to “Bullinger’s FigOfSp”, then when you click the word “metonymy” in any of the book views, the dictionary immediately moves to that definition. You can always use TW’s hand “lookup” feature, too. Never before has Bullinger’s excellent reference work ever been so accessible.

Originally copyrighted in 1898. It is still the definitive work on the subject of Biblical figures of speech. The text for this modules comes from a TheWord module built by David Cox. It has been reformatted as a TW .dct.twm module.

Special thanks to Mr. Bond for helping with the .dct.twm “titles and definitions” formatting. The module is much more useful thanks to him.
