About this title

Synopsis

BIBLICAL NUMEROLOGY is the perfect addition for any Bible student's reference library. In fact, it fills a serious gap in the literature of Biblical interpretation. Most of the literature available on this subject is rooted in the mystical, rather than serious scholarship. The result is that an important subject has fallen into disrepute. Davis takes a different approach--first of all he collects, analyzes, and classifies the pertinent data relevant to numbers and their use in the Bible. He then defines the nature and use of numbers in Scripture. Finally, he seeks to establish valid and consistent principles for use in the interpretation of Biblical numbers. Pastors, teachers, and Bible students everywhere will be grateful to Davis for this basic study. This book will restore the study of Biblical numerology to that level of respectability which it deserves and demands.
