The term People of the Book (Hebrew: עַם הַסֵּפֶר, Am HaSefer; Arabic: أهل الكتاب, Ahl al-Kitab; Persian: اهل کتاب, Ahl-e Ketab) refers to those religions that are of revealed scriptures, most commonly referring to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The phrase originates from the Quran, where it is used to describe Jews, Christians, and Sabians as "People of the Book" because they possess revealed scriptures. In a broader sense, the term can also include other religions with sacred texts, such as Zoroastrianism, the Baháʼí Faith, and the Druze faith. The concept highlights the shared heritage and theological foundations among these religions, emphasizing their common roots and mutual recognition of divine revelation through scripture. This recognition has historically influenced interfaith relations, theological discourse, and cultural exchanges among these communities.
This site lets you convert words, names, and phrases into numerical values using different gematria systems. You can use the main calculator gematria tool at the top of the page: type your text, choose a method, and press Convert.
The calculator gematria tool supports multiple alphabets and standard letter–number mappings. More systems will be added in the future.
The reverse gematria calculator uses the same alphabet as the standard system but assigns values in reverse order (for example, A = 26, B = 25, …, Z = 1 in a basic English reverse setup). This lets you compare standard and reverse values for the same text.
