Biblical Numerology

by John J. Davis and John James Davis

Book Overview

The use of numbers had meaning for the Hebrews, and exegetical points are missed by scholars who don't understand them. Davis avoids the sensationalism that has discredited this important biblical study.

Customer Reviews

The best available work on Biblical Numerology, IMO

John Davis explores the often mysterious realm of biblical numerology without "straining at gnats [and/or] swallowing camels," so to speak. There are many other works available (E. W. Bullinger's "Number in Scripture," Johnston's "Numbers in the Bible," etc.) which are far too unreliable and utilize biblical numerology to explain or teach one's own dogmas. John Davis, however, approaches biblical numerology from a very open, birds-eye-view standpoint, and gives clear, concise examples of usage, history, and even the future of numerological interpretation for the bible student. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever had interest in biblical numerology.The book itself is small and at a good price; worth every penny.
