Description: Theology of Arithmetic : Number Symbolism in Platonism and Early Christianity, Paperback by Kalvesmaki, Joel, ISBN 0674073304, ISBN-13 9780674073302, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Writing for anyone interested in intellectual history in late antiquity, Kalvesmaki (Byzantine studies, Dumbarton Oaks, Harvard U.) argues that the second-century Christian debate over numbers eventually influenced the Platonist tradition that had originally inspired it. Among his topics are Pythagorean and Platonist number systems in the first century, the apogee of Valentinian number symbolism with Marcus "Magnus," the orthodox possibilities of the theology of arithmetic with Clement of Alexandria, and how the early Christian theology of arithmetic shaped neo-Platonism and late antique Christianity.
