This book by Jerry Stevens should be required reading for anyone who tries to understand the meaning of the number of the prophetic Beast: "for it is the number of a man and his number is six hundred sixty-six in Revelation" 13:18. It is one of the most detailed studies on the development of the Historicist interpretation of 666. The author has compiled approximately 170 references to its use by Catholic, Protestant and Adventist writers from its earliest appearance in the forged donation of Constantine to the early 21st Century.
