E. W. Bullinger's discussion of Hebrews XI, viewed through biographic accounts of Biblical figures, is imbued with the author's scholarship and gifts for research. Introducing the text with his innovative method of articulating the meaning of scripture, the author shows us how he uses the structure of Biblical passages to divine their message. We see how he arrives at a reasonable conclusion as to what the Bible says, with each word and turn of phrase scrutinized. This intensive approach ensures that no meaning or kernel of truth escapes analysis. This superb Biblical commentary proceeds by examining certain Biblical figures, which the author shows are connected to the Hebrews XI passage either through direct reference or through the deeds and principles they followed in life. Whether it is Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses or other Old Testament figures, all carry a certain essence of faith that is vital to the Book of Hebrews message. Through the series of short biographies comprising the sum of this work, readers pick up a picture of what faith and man's place on Earth mean in the context of Hebrews XI. The profundity of the words are seen to echo through the books and verses of the Bible, taken as a whole, they contain part of God's most valuable lessons to mankind. As such, Bullinger's researches are useful and carry substantial merit for Christian believers. E. W. Bullinger spent decades reading and researching aspects of the scripture. Working in the English clergy, he developed a distinctive scholarship of the Bible, meticulously chronicling his insights in a series of helpful texts. Although many of Bullinger's views were contrarian and unique, and thus held in low regard by other Christian preachers and authors, his esoteric knowledge was towering then as it is now.
