The Number of the Beast: Counting the Options


Revelation 13:18 This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

TTC's Chen Su Lan Professor of New Testament, Dr Tan Kim Huat has written an excellent paper on "The Number of the Beast: Counting the Options" in the recently published Trinity Theological Journal Vol. 19 (2011), 1-38.

It is one of the most comprehensive expositions on Rev 13:18 that I have come across. I have no hesitation in recommending all serious students of Revelation to purchase a copy of the TTJ. It is available at the Reception, Level 2. Professor Tan's article (with his kind permission) is one of the required readings for the elective on the book of Revelation commencing 5th January 2012.
