Message-ID:Date: 25 Sep 89 02:06:16 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Organization: Department of Computer Science, Purdue University Lines: 7 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu 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 ?
