A Defense of the Hyperbolic Interpretation of Large Numbers in the Old Testament

This work by David M. Fouts explores the interpretation of large numbers in the Old Testament, arguing that these numbers should be understood as hyperbolic expressions rather than literal figures.

Fouts discusses the hermeneutical implications of this interpretation, distinguishing it from theological debates about inerrancy and historical accuracy.

His analysis includes examples from various biblical passages, such as the population of Israel at the exodus and discrepancies in census figures.
