We can apply mathematics to anything like space numbers physics biology etcetera. This
essay applies mathematics to the story of Jesus of Nazareth.The simple mathematics of Jesus
concerns the development of the calendar using astronomy.The priest-astrologers regarded the
sun moon planets and stars as gods and goddesses. They used poetic language to remember the
observations and to pass those on to new generations. The uninitiated who heard the stories
started to think that those were really about the gods. There is for example the division of
the day into morning noon and evening. Three times 60 degrees gives the heavenly dome of 180
degrees. Sixty translates as Great One since Sumerian arithmetic uses base 60. Three times the
Great One gives the trinity of Father Son and Holy Spirit (old man). When god dies he
resurrects in the morning again as his own son. What is useful for the measurement of time
becomes a rich theology. The essay contains many examples like this.The essay suggests
complexer mathematics to discover who Jesus was and how the Bible was written.Thomas Colignatus
is econometrician and teacher of mathematics. See htt
