5.0 out of 5 stars Not as Bad as Some People Think, January 2, 2001

This review is from: The Handwriting of God (Mass Market Paperback)

Jeffery does a very good job with this one. It's not a course in theology, but a basic introduction to orthodox Christian belief. In the book, you will find a discussion of the Bible Code, an introduction the historical reliability of the New Testament and a basic discussion of the pitfalls of the theory of Evolution. Some people dislike the book because it answers questions from an objective, "hard science" point of view. The problem is, they have a predisposition to disbelief (I remember hearing once that if the other side says that it's just horrible based on what it talks about, there's got to be a little something to it, and it certainly holds true here). In any event, this is not a book you want to give a non-Christian, but it is a good one to prepare you for a basic discussion.

1.0 out of 5 stars Forging God's Handwriting, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Handwriting of God (Paperback)

Jeffrey, a former CPA turned Bible "scholar" grinds out another sensationalist piece of drivel. (I can think of a few supermarket tabloids who should hire this guy.) Based on the long discredited notion of a Bible "code," Jeffrey's book masquerades as an apologetic for the inspiration of Scripture. The problem with any book of this stripe is that none deal with the hard questions: What about people who lived before computers? Could they read and benefit from them? Why are all these corroborating events only found after the fact? Why does this method work with any book and topic you care to choose? And why should a pagan give a rat's hat about finding the death of Princess Di or JFK Jr. in the Bible? That is not what the Bible is about, people! For two thousand years, no theologian (or Christian, for that matter) worth his salt spent time looking for hidden messages in the Bible; they were too busy studying the plain words of the text. There is more than enough on the page to keep you learning for a lifetime.
