Spice of Torah-Gematria

Rating:
Summary: It's not the meat, it's the spice
Review: This is a reference book, not a free-reading book. Locks has taken each word or word-phrase in the Torah and listed their numerical values in one reference. The "art" of gematria can be somewhat unreliable as a primary source of interpretation, according to some experts, but this book remains a great tool for those to discover the beauty of this form of interpretation on their own. One should be familiar with basic Hebrew biblical spelling and grammar as it appears in the Torah before buying this book.
