Torah Codes Opening the Sealed Book Intro In 1997, The Bible Code was published. After reading a review, I scoffed along with the critic at the ludicrous claim that a sophisticated code had been discovered within the first five books of the Old Testament. I said many unkind things about Michael Drosnin, the book's author, before actually reading the text myself. I'd like to apologize to Mr. Drosnin for my rude, reflexive behavior. The Bible Code is a pretty good introduction to this subject. A second book, Cracking the Bible Code, by Jeffrey Satinover, offers a somewhat different take on the same story. Both authors (as I and everyone else is apt to do) inject their own opinions while striving to remain "objective." True objectivity is like true perfection; we aren't likely to attain either, so let's dispense with the notion here and now. I'll be quoting from these and other sources to help share this story with you. Your common sense may complain at length that there simply cannot be such a thing as a Bible Code. I know mine did. Code critics cite many of these same arguments—arguments that sound reasonable and correct—in refuting and dispensing with the codes. Reasonable and correct, that is, so long as one doesn't actually examine the evidence. But that, of course, is just my opinion. What's the Story?
