The recent scientific discovery that precise descriptions of world-shaking events seem to be encoded into the first five books of the Bible has captured the world's attention. No one in ancient times could have had such knowledge - from what grew in the Garden of Eden to details of the Gulf War and much more. But if no individual put the codes there, who did?

If the codes are proved to be genuine - and as yet some of today's greatest scientific minds have been unable to disprove them - they would be tantamount to scientific proof of the existence of God.

Cracking the Bible Code is the first accurate and fully documented account of the codes - a story far more rich, strange, and stunning than has yet been told. Dr. Jeffrey Satinover uncovers the codes' fascinating past, counters recent sensational and inaccurate representations of the codes, explains the current heated debate about their authenticity, and clarifies their profound implications for our view of God, faith, and fate.
