Although there is debate about the number bishops at the First Ecumenical Council at Nicaea, the number 318 became the traditional number. This resulted in a connection John Chrysostom and others made with the bishops fighting against heresy and Abraham’s 318 men fighting pagans to rescue Lot (Gen 14:14). Chrysostom and Ambrose of Milan connected the number 318 with the name “Christ” using gematria. Later interpretations connect “3” to the cross of Christ and “18” with the first two letters of Christ’s name (chi rho). Are these connections legitimate? This paper will demonstrate there is “no deal”: no legitimate connection of the number of bishops at Nicaea with Genesis 14:14, nor is there a viable connection of Genesis 14:14 and the words “cross” or “Christ.” However, the popularity of the chi rho sign may have led to the alleged connection. The paper will examine: (1) the accuracy of the number of bishops at Nicaea, (2) the history of interpretation of the 318 men in Genesis 14:14, (3) the likely interpretation of the 318 men, (4) the history of the chi rho sign, and (5) the use of gematria, typology, and numerology with the number 318.
