1.How many letters of the alphabet are used for names of books in the Bible? 18 (A, C, D, E, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, Z)

2.Only 8 of 26 letters of the alphabet are not used for names of books of the Bible. (B, F, Q, U, V, W, X, Y)

3.The letter of the alphabet that is used the most for a name of a book in the Bible is: J, J is used 12 times for names of books in the Bible

4.The letters of the alphabet where they are used only once for a name of a book in the Bible are: I and O

5.Following are the most to least occurrences of letters of the alphabet used for names of books in the Bible:
12 = J
6 (6 each) = E and P
5 (5 each) = C and T
4 (4 each) = H and M
3 (3 each) = L, N, R and S
2 (2 each) = A, D, G, K, Z
1 (1 each) = I and O


6.Interesting observations and mathematical nuances about #5:
•The letter of the alphabet that is used the most in the bible is unique in two biblically distinct ways is the letter J; the first unique thing about this is that J is the first letter of our savior’s name, Jesus; the second unique thing about this is that the most used letter , J, of 12 times is associative to the number of disciples Jesus had
•The letter J is the tenth letter in the alphabet and 10 is a biblically associative number with regards J being in the first half of the alphabet which could be associated to the first part of the Bible known as the Old Testament which is also the location of the 10 Commandments
•I think the letter J is also unique in that the first disciple (chronologically speaking) Jesus recruited; the disciple’s name started with a J (John) – not sure about this one you may have to check me on this one
•Jesus’ cousin’s name, prophet that would tell of Jesus’ coming also started with a J (John the Baptist)
•There are 7 sets of numbers listed in #5; the number 7 is biblically unique in many ways – one is that God created ALL and on the 7th day He rested; as well as 7 is biblically known as a number of completeness
•Curiously, the letters of the alphabet that are used only once (I and O) can probably be quizzically associative to many things but what stuck out to me was the phrase, “I owe. . . . . .”; and all saved know the conclusion that statement, “everything to God.”; we have and are nothing without the grace of God, ergo “I owe everything to God.” – even our thoughts, emotions as well as all finite material things are owed to God
•The total number that the letters of the alphabet are used for names of books in the Bible is: 33 (33 = 12+6+5+4+3+2+1); 33 is one half of the total number of all the books in the Bible (66); notice that the seventh number that totals to 33 (12 (# of disciples) is associated to J or Jesus)

7.The middle book of the Bible, Psalms, is the largest in page volume (73); the letter P is used 6 times for names of books in the Bible; 6 is one half the number of Jesus’ disciples; you open the middle of the Bible (one half) and you open to Psalms

8.There are 66 books in the Bible; if you attach another 6 to that string then you get 666 which is the mark of man in which the missing 6 could be said to be man in which 66 is the books of the Bible and the Bible was written for man

9.Following is how many times that letters of the alphabet are used for names of books in the Bible:
A = 2E = 6I = 3L = 3O = 1S = 3
C = 5G= 2J = 12M = 4P = 6T = 5
D = 2H = 4K = 2N = 3R = 3Z =2


10.Interesting observations of #9:
•There can be (as demonstrated above) 6 columns of letters and 6 is one half 12; P is used 6 times; Psalms is one of the 6 Ps and is one half location of the Bible\
•The 6 columns are in sets of 3 rows; 3 is a biblically unique number –
God, Holy Spirit, and Christ (The Holy Trinity (3))
Christ’s crucifixion (3 crosses)
Christ rose from death on the 3rd day
Uniquely enough I cannot think of nor see any other unique observations between the letters of the alphabet and the Bible but I will note that that the last observation I noted above was 10 (the 10 Commandments).
These are just a few surface observations that a baby Christian has observed – imagine what a saved person long in their walk could point out!
