I am interested in knowing more about the various numbers that show up
in the bible. For instance, the number 3 seems to be very prominent 
in that it can be seen to be most frequently cited. Ex. The number
of times Jesus was tempted, the number of people crucified (including
Jesus), the number of days of his resurrection.  
Was there a book recently written on this topic ?
