Some Wheat but Mostly Chaff,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Greatest Deception - The Bible UFO Connection (Paperback)
I was really looking forward to reading this book. But I must say I am disappointed. I believe the author's premise that extraterrestrials likely play a significant role in religious history. I have been a student of the UFO phenomenon for nearly forty years. I also have a graduate degree in biblical and religious studies. So I feel that I am qualified to say that poor scholarship compromises this book's credibility. This work is a collection of information from various sources that the author has interpreted to support his pre-conceived thesis. There is not much in the way of new or original information here. Documentation of source material is lacking for the numerous quotations and case studies cited in this book. This book is filled with inexcusable grammatical and typographical anomalies. The entire first quarter of this book is a tedious list of King James Bible verses quoted out of context. The author used Strong's Concordance to reference certain key words that he thinks are references to UFOs. These verses may or may not refer to UFOs, depending on how you interpret words like "heaven" and "cloud." The veracity of some of the author's case studies regarding anomalous artifacts is questionable according to other works in this genre. What really blew my mind was an entire page devoted to the author's argument that Jesus Christ had short hair and no beard! What does that have to do with UFOs and the history of religion? While there is some "wheat" to be found in this book, I must say that most of it is "chaff." Your money would be better spent on Linda Moulton Howe's "High Strangeness, vol. II."

Publishers Review,
By Write To Print (Merrimack, NH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Greatest Deception - The Bible UFO Connection (Paperback)
The Church Ignores It.Hundreds of verses record flying vehicles and advanced technology in the Bible but the church is silent. The Government Hides It. Science Avoids It. Education Rejects It. A Terrible Truth Patrick Cooke is an independent researcher residing in Berkeley California. His work focuses on defining the connections between theology, archeology, anthropology, and ufology. He also edits The Bible UFO Connection website Look for him on the History Channel's next season of UFO's Week!

A Rare Find For A One Stop Reference Book,
By Louise A. Lowry (Croydon, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Greatest Deception - The Bible UFO Connection (Paperback)
I was most impressed when I finally had gotten "The Greatest Deception - The Bible UFO Connection in, with over 450 some pages of references and information. The reader will soon be lost for words as they search through this most brilliantly written voyage through the ages of time...You will find many references to the Bible broken down.. "The Greatest Deception - The Bible UFO Connection" is a much valuable source for the readers of academe who wish to take on the challenges posed by the UFO phenomenon and not be afraid to voice their opinion Learn of the infamous Crop Circles, the Mighty wonders of the world and the great misconceptions of the common Bible. Learn about the Churches and their FEARS. You will also learn of the feats about, Human Anomalies such as the massive giants that walked with us. The Ancient technology and what we have lost through the years. Special Talents, Effects and People will amaze you..also touching on the Cattle Mutilations and embedded artifacts, along with the crop art and Agriglyphs.. I applaud the goal of the writer (Patrick Cooke) for putting together this most interesting, serious and impressive book. I'm sure that both the scientific and religion aspect will remain controversial and maybe one day we will answer the Who? What? Where? and Why? questions... Louise A. Lowry
