Summary: A Controversal Book ?
Review: Well, regarding the reviews on the German version of this book, I have to say I am glad I got it for 3,95 DEM. It is not easy for me to decide whether there are any mistakes concerning translation and/or historic background for I am not an expert in Hebrew language or history.

Summary: A Jewish and Christian Odyssey
Review: When I purchased this book and began to read it, I did so thinking that it would be a somewhat intriguing diversion from all the ugliness of the atrocities of Sept. 11 and their aftermath. But I doubted that it was anything that I should take seriously. I have been a Christian for many years, and have heard all kinds of theories regarding Biblical interpretation, from numerology to non-Christian mysticism. So I wasn't quite sure what I should expect from this book. The topic of hidden Biblical codes was mildly interesting to me, but somehow - out there; the stuff of pseudo science, pseudo religion and Fox Molder."Cracking the Bible Code" surprised me in that it does not sensationalize or subjectively promote its topic. Rather, it begins by telling a series of biographical stories that illustrate the long and rich history of the Jews and their devotion to the Torah both as Holy Scripture, and as God's Puzzle to be pieced together by the faithful. Eventually, these stories include the development of modern day encryption/decription technology, and the application of some of this technology to continue the ancient pursuit of hidden mysteries of the Torah. The results are astounding. As a Christian, I believe that science and the theology are investigating the same mystery. The two are at once compatible but divergent. The more scientific information we gather, the more we learn of the act of creation, and even of the mind of God. "Cracking the Bible Code" follows this theme, but perhaps leaves the reader with more wonder than answers. Dr. Satinover seems especially aware of the temptation for the Jewish and Christian believer to loose objectivity with regard to this subject, and strives to stay focused on the facts (as he sees them) and present to the reader a 4000 year old drama that has yet to be finished.

Summary: Thorough, historically based, enlightening and believeable
Review: When I read Drosnan's book I was intrigued. When I read Satinover's book,the Bible Code subject became very credible. The book takes 120 pages to throughly describe the historical background of the discovery of the codes; their genesis as a legitiment subject; and the development of a solid basis for statistical study and analyses. The existence of the codes, as coded in the first 5 books of the Bible, is now being supported and clarified by scientists through the world. They are now coming to the conclusion that the Codes may be real. To me the codes can only be a part of the Bible because God placed them there! Randomness is not a valid conclusion nor a viable result. The "Finger of God" wrote the codes just as he spoke to the scribes that recorded the biblical scriptures. I recommend that ALL persons interested in a complete Bible Study, must also read the developing issues of the emerging Bible Codes to complete their total understanding of Bible scripture. Satinover's book is an excellent start in the understanding of the newly emerging study of the Bible Codes.

Summary: Does this man have an agenda?
Review: You bet he does! If you want to read a book by a notorious homophobic, right wing, friend of Dr. Laura then go right ahead. Know your authors!!! If I could, I'd have given him zero stars. Blah!

Summary: See what you want to see
Review: You can justify most anything, and that especially for anything
dealing with "faith" or "belief." If you feel vindicated that the devil will appear someday "soon," then that's great.
Geez, where's all the love? I see, people want vindication, and not love. We live in such an egocentric world.
Read the book, "Father Joe," and find out what love could be if you have ears to hear and eyes to see.

Summary: It's "Mystery" religion once again!!!
Review: You must buy this book in order to know what the bible really says...only with my book can you decipher the truth of God's Word...what a shame, pure "Mystery" religion once again. The same "Bible Codes" have been performed on "War and Peace" and "Moby Dick," neither of which are divine writings. Wake up folks...
