About E. W. Bullinger

Ethelbert William Bullinger (15 December 1837 – 6 June 1913) was an Anglican clergyman, biblical scholar, and ultradispensationalist theologian. His family traced their ancestry back to Heinrich Bullinger, the Swiss Reformer and Johann Balthasar Bullinger, a Swiss painter. He later received a Doctor of Divinity in 1881 not from a university but from Archibald Campbell Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury, who cited Bullinger's "eminent service in the Church in the department of Biblical criticism". Bullinger's career in the Church of England spanned from 1861 to 1888.
