New Feature: Bullinger's Figures of Speech (Dataset)
What is it?
For over 100 years, countless biblical interpreters have relied on Bullinger's Figures of Speech Used in the Bible: Explained and Illustrated. But its sheer breadth makes it difficult to use. We've transformed this classic resource into a searchable dataset so you can find everywhere a biblical author uses, for instance, metonymy—a figure of speech where a name or noun is used in place of another. Search for any figure of speech addressed in Bullinger and find relevant biblical passages.
How does it work?
The Figures of Speech dataset allows you to search for everywhere Bullinger has categorized a biblical reference as a figure of speech. You can access this data through a Bible search with the following search parameters:
- {Label Figure of Speech}
- {Label Figure of Speech WHERE Name = "Metonymy"}
- scepter WITHIN {Label Figure of Speech WHERE Name = "Metonymy"}
The figures of speech that are searchable can be found in the Table of Contents of Bullinger's Figures of Speech resource here.
