Mathematics and Bible Study

INTRODUCTION

"Several times have I made the statement that true Bible study resembles the study of mathematics.  It is difficult to show examples since very few people have sufficient background in mathematics.  However, here are two mathematical examples that should be within the reach of anyone with a only a knowledge of high school algebra.  It is in three parts: Part 1 sets forth the modern axiomatic approach to mathematical analysis.  The particular example I have chosen is the set of axioms underlying ordinary arithmetic and elementary algebra.  Part 2 gives an algebraic example of a common and very useful function, the exponential.  Part 3 analyzes a few Biblical ideas to show how some of these principles have their analog in Scriptural analysis."
