"Let, for example, the body, material and solid, be represented fairly enough by x^3, and the spirit, higher and possessing an unknown power, by x^4. Then (x^3+x^4) represents the man in life, while (x^3+x^4)–x^4 represents the departure of the spirit (x^4) at death, which returns to its own dimension, while the body (x^3), which is left, returns to the earth to which a belongs."

An awful lot of this book is an unapologetic crib of Abbott's Flatland, published only a few years earlier, but the climax, where Scofield uses math to explain the translation of Enoch, etc., is worth the repetition.

“I crave and thirst for more knowledge.”

A really interesting insight into how the fourth dimension and theism relate. Reading this was a bit of a shot in the dark because I knew it was probably going to be a bit too complex for me as I have limited knowledge on the dimensions. However, the wording and analogies made it quite easy to follow and comprehend - especially the explanations of the 1st and 2nd dimensions, which I particularly enjoyed.
A fault that I found with this was that there was little elaboration on the fourth dimension in the book as a whole. Lots of references to scripture, which I can appreciate but not so much on how the fourth dimension is different practically and mathematically.
