The book ""The Number Symbolism of Marcus the Gnostic"" by G.R.S. Mead is a detailed exploration of the numerological system used by the early Christian Gnostic philosopher, Marcus. Mead delves into the meaning behind the numbers used by Marcus in his teachings, which he believed held significant spiritual importance. The book provides a thorough analysis of the various numbers and their symbolic meanings, including the number one, which represents the unity of God, and the number seven, which symbolizes the seven planets and the seven heavens. Mead also explores the concept of gematria, a system of assigning numerical value to words and phrases, and how it relates to Marcus' teachings.
