He was born in Canterbury, Kent, England, the youngest of five children of William and Mary (Bent) Bullinger. His family traced their ancestry back to Heinrich Bullinger, the Swiss Reformer.
His formal theological training was at King's College London from 1860-1861, earning an Associate's degree. After graduation, on October 15, 1861, he married Emma Dobson, thirteen years his senior.
Bullinger's career in the Church of England spanned 1861 until 1888. He began as associate curate in the parish of St. Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey in 1861, and was ordained as a priest in the Church of England in 1862. He served as parish curate in Tittleshall from 1863-1866; Notting Hill from 1866-1869; Leytonstone, 1869-1870; then Walthamstow until he became vicar of the newly established parish of St. Stephen's in 1874. He resigned his vicarage in 1888..
In the spring of 1867, Bullinger became clerical secretary of the Trinitarian Bible Society, a position he would hold till his death in 1913
In the great Anglican debate of the Victorian era, he was a Low Churchman rather than High Church sacerdotalist.
His three major works were
* A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament
* Figures of Speech Used in the Bible (1898)
* primary editor of The Companion Bible
(published in 6 parts, 1909-1922 It was completed after his death by his associates.
These works and many others remain in print (2007).
In 1881, he received a Doctor of Divinity degree from Archibald Campbell Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury who cited Bullinger's "eminent service in the Church in the department of Biblical criticism."
Bullinger's friends included well-known Zionist Dr. Theodore Herzl. This was a personal friendship, but accorded with Bullinger's belief in a Biblical distinction between the Church and the Jewish People.
Bullinger also has a great works called Witness to the Stars -This book provides the seeker of GOD'S TRUTH, as written in the HEAVEN'S, with the intellectual tools to see the corruption which todays so called "astrology" attempts. This serves to explain why GOD'S WORD says astrologers are sinners against GOD. What GOD has WRITTEN in the HEAVENS REVEALS GOD'S PLANS ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL FOR ALL WHO HAVE EYES TO SEE. FOR HE KNOWS EACH STAR AND CALLS THEM EACH BY NAME. THE STARS REVEAL HIS GLORY, HIS POWER, and HIS TRUTH.
Mr. Bullinger has presented his book, "Witness of the Stars", and it made me aware of my sin, gave me an opportunity to see my error, repent and seek forgiveness in MY LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. The Air I Breathe dvd
