IN this work are presented a very large number of quite indisputable facts illustrative in the first instance of a parallelism of meaning and of numerical values in the equivalent of the letters constituting words and phrases employed in the Greek text of Scripture and other writings of the apostolic or sub-apostolic period. The problem to be solved is first whether the facts are relevant to any principle of importance in the teachings and interpretation of Scripture, and second, the question to what they actually do refer.
