In this provocative study, James Edward Nelson examines the meaning and significance of the number 666 in the context of Christian eschatology. Through a close reading of Biblical and historical texts, Nelson argues that the infamous 'number of the beast' is a code for the names of key historical figures, including William Gladstone, the 19th-century British Prime Minister. 666 offers a compelling and controversial interpretation of one of the most enigmatic passages in the Bible.
