""Seven: The Sacred Number"" by Richard Samuell is a comprehensive exploration of the significance and symbolism of the number seven in various cultures and religions throughout history. The book delves into the mystical and spiritual associations of the number, as well as its mathematical and scientific properties. Samuell examines the role of seven in the Bible, the ancient Babylonian creation myth, the Hindu chakra system, and many other traditions. He also explores the use of seven in literature, art, and music, and its connection to the seven days of the week and the seven wonders of the world. Throughout the book, Samuell argues that the number seven holds a unique and powerful place in human consciousness, representing both a connection to the divine and a universal archetype of wholeness and completion. This thought-provoking and engaging work is sure to fascinate anyone interested in numerology, spirituality, and the history of human culture.1887.

It is written not in the language of scholars, but for ordinary English Bible readers, and presupposes no knowledge whatever of the sacred languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
