Infinity is depicted by both the [[Multiplication of the loaves]] and the master's estate in the [[Prodigal Son]], considered perhaps the most insightful story in all of written history.  Also, one's soul is of infinite value to him and cannot be exceeded in value by anything else, as explained by Matthew 16:26.

[[Jesus]] taught the existence of infinity in multiple ways.  Indeed, the [[Gospels]] and [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] are like a book of [[logic]] about infinity.  This was contrary to the views of the greatest Greek mathematician and philosopher, [[Pythagoras]] and [[Aristotle]], who both incorrectly rejected that infinity could exist.<ref>See [[Math and the Bible]].</ref>  The [[Old Testament]] has only indirect references to infinity.

[[Anselm]] focused on infinity to prove the divinity of [[Christ]].  [[Chaucer]] referenced "infinity" in 1374, according to the [[OED]].  But [[Shakespeare]] used infinity more than anyone up until his time, in such classics as [[Hamlet]] ("A king of infinite space") and [[Romeo and Juliet]] (“My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.”).
