Mathematizing mathematics in Holy writ
Studies have unraveled and given exposition on mathematics inherent in Holy Writ, the Bible.
This study provides further evidence of more implicit and explicit mathematics in its words, verses
and chapters. These are furnished through document analysis and purposeful mathematizing and
explication of a selected host of Biblical texts and contexts to demonstrate their mathematical
nature and worth. It reveals mathematics, some amenable to formulation, are embedded in the texts
and underlie the contexts of scripture. It further reveals, among others, that internal logic,
coherence and fact-validation, and diversity of content areas that match 21st century curriculum
characterize mathematics in the Bible. Recommendations were made for faith-based Christian
schools to incorporate mathematics in biblical context into their curriculum and for this study to
be replicated with other religious texts.
