Riassunto

This is probably the most comprehensive book on Bible numbers available. Starting with the work of Ivan Panin, the authors range through every imaginable aspect of the field, with many a pleasant surprise for the reader. Much of this material is brand new; the bulk of it is not only a thorough examination of Ivan Panin’s studies, but well-considered investigation as to where it can lead; with enough examples to fill . . .well, a book. Here you will meet up with the meanings of numbers, gematria, primes, how mathematical expressions are to be treated, and most excitingly, well-considered inroads into the world of geometry, both two and three dimensional. There are side-by-side comparisons between Panin's Greek text and both Westcott & Hort’s (of his day) and Nestlé-Aland’s (of ours). The classic writings of Panin are all here, as well as many obscure samples. More than 350 pages of exploration, liberally illustrated, await the reader. It is evident that the writers were exploring their subject even as the book was being put together. As each subject is addressed, they continually arrive at the conclusion that more investigation is welcome and wanting. There are no grand doctrinal points being made or axes set up for grinding here; there is simply page after page of fascinating phenomena vying for attention. Despite the title, the authors appear to have taken the ‘proving’ aspect of numerics for granted and moved on to having fun. All in all, this is a most refreshing read.
