Reviews

[Hal Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

"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.
