Infinity and the Bible concerns the failure of English translations to use the term "infinity" or "infinite" and instead to mistranslate the text as "unsearchable" or "without limit" or another less precise term.
For example, Psalm 147:5 refers to the infinite understanding by God, and yet most English translations (37 out of 53) instead use other terms such as "boundless", "beyond measure" (ESV), or "no limit" (NIV).[1]
