“Mathematics and the Bible or Battle of the Queens: Mathematics reveals theological truths”  By Timothy Pennings, Ph.D., Chair, Department of Mathematics, Davenport University.

Can a mathematician be a Christian? Can a Christian student do math? No
matter, come discover from the owner of Elvis, the dog who knew calculus,
himself a preacher's kid of deep and intriguing connections between
mathematics and theology. Why did the Apostle Paul write, "If the dead are not raised, then Christ is not raised . ." What is the logical error in the
Apostles' Creed? What do differential equations reveal about the problem
of evil? What does "e" have to do with moral dilemmas? How do prime numbers illustrate moral absolutes? How does Cantor's infinity justify the
notion of the Trinity?  If intrigued - be there.
