Title: Biblical Numerology: A Basic Study of the Use of Numbers in the Bible by John James Davis ISBN: 0-8010-2813-2 Publisher: Baker Book House Pub. Date: January, 1995 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.99 |

Summary: Very theological
Comment: As I read, I was thinking, "This man approaches this subject like a seminary teacher." (I had not read the back cover.)
His research to write this book was extensive. His conclusions are in accord with his profession,'theological'... [cold, formal, intellectual] leaving no room for revelation, no room for the Holy Ghost teacher; only what the mind can put together from study.
"It is our conclusion" he writes, " that the mystical or symbolical interpretation of numbers has little place in a sound system of hermeneutics. ... the Bible does not use numbers in a mystical sense." (Pages 124 /155)
Jesus comments on this sort of approach in Matthew 11:25 "At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes."
The church is built on revelation from the Father, [and it will match the written Word] not study alone . Matthew 16:13 / John 6:44 - 45
Rating: 4
Summary: The best available work on Biblical Numerology, IMO
Comment: 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.
