5.0 out of 5 stars An unforgettable book..., July 4, 2003

This review is from: The Signature of God (Paperback)

Grant Jeffrey's "The Signature of God" sets out to prove that the Bible is the inspired word of God, passed down through the generations by the writings of Old and New Testament prophets. The majority of open-minded readers will agree that he succeeds.

"The Signature of God" attempts to prove the Bible as God's word by building a foundation of arguments based on historical documents, archeological discoveries, scientific knowledge, fulfillment of Bible prophecy, and other such evidences. Those who are not Christian or Jewish (and many of those who are) will find a tremendous amount of information they either didn't know or never before viewed in the way Jeffrey presents. The author explores the advanced medical knowledge set down in the Torah, where God instructs the Jewish people to undertake certain precautions in dealing with sick people, dead animals, and other sources of infectious disease. Long before modern science uncovered bacteria and virus, God gave the Jewish nation a means to avoid them.

The book also delves into the Bible codes, without citing many of the speculative and statistically insignificant ones espoused by "Bible Code" author Michael Drosnin. Recently, many academic institutions have been exploring these "codes", equidistant letter sequences in the text of the Old Testament books that make up the Torah. Jeffrey points out many of these codes, such as the name "Yeshua" (translated "Jesus") appearing an ordinate and statistically significant number of times within the Old Testament. In addition, Jeffrey devotes a chapter to the subject of mathematics and the Bible, a subject rarely touched on in modern literature. He catalogues the work of Ivan Panin, a Harvard mathematician who uncovered a series of alphanumeric codes in the Bible (over 30 separate codes involving the number 7 alone in the first sentence of the Bible)!

Jeffrey quite adeptly weaves his arguments together into a cohesive and formidable argument on behalf of divine authorship of the Bible, and this is a book both believers and non-believers in God will enjoy perusing. Highly recommended, one of the best modern books (written in layman's terms) on the source and history of the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Work, June 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Signature of God: Astonishing Biblical Discoveries (Paperback)

I saw the writer of the book on TV. Guess what, It was a perfect presentation of thoughts about his book contents in summary. I have spent most of my time doing a research in Science and the Bible and I find the writer of the book Signature of God to be of inspiration. I also discuss a lot on Evolution Vs Creation. Grant R. Jeffrey, believe me, you are a blessing. When I was in my second year at a University, I ready another book about bible prophecy and mysteries. In it, the writer talked about the Great Pyramid. This book is perhaps other than the bible, the greatest I've read. I want to buy it but it is no longer in an old library I regularly visited. Your Book too is on my shopping list. Shalom! Shalom!

This review is from: The Signature of God (Paperback)

I admit that I am probably "average" as far as intellect and overall knowledge; I don't claim to be an expert in proving biblical truths. Some of the information in this book I found to be quite compelling; particularly in the area of archealogical evidence. And, I admit, some of the information seemed too far stretched for my human mind to process (ie, bibilical codes). I know from my own experience that it can be easy for non-christians to marginalize the awesome and absolute truths that are in the Bible, but, if you read this book , you might find that some of your questions are answered, or, at the very least, addressed. Some reviewers claimed that the author did not have a scholarly reference list, and although I haven't looked at the bibliograpy, I do know that he repeatedly quotes the ONE AND ONLY authentic reference---the Bible itself. Granted, any and all things can be interpreted to fit one's own persepective, but did you know that it CLEARLY states in the Old Testament that the Earth is round? I mean, how else is one supposed to interpret "the sphere of the Earth."? Could God give us a more blatant statement about his divine role in creation and, therefore, our existence? I still think of that when I have doubts. It really all boils down to this: your thoughts are your reality, and this book might just give you the reality check you need.
