Using a mathematical code developed by a university professor, a computer displays patterns of letters hidden deep within the Bible's ancient text. Amazingly, 20th-century names and events appear! What does it all mean?

Is this scientific proof that God exists? Did aliens encode it, as reporter Michael Drosnin claims in his secular bestseller The Bible Code? Or does it reveal something else altogether?

With this book Phil Stanton powerfully demonstrates that the truth is out there, but that it is quite different from the claims being made by Drosnin and some well-meaning Christians. In fact, as Stanton explains in The Bible Code: Fact or Fake?, Drosnin's work isn't a game that simply whets people's curiosity about God's Word. At stake is the authority of the Bible itself.

This book alerts Christians to the dangers of humanism--the belief system inherent in Drosnin's bestseller--and sorts through the problems and implications of the code methodology. It also resoundly affirms that when it comes to understanding the Bible, there's no need to read between the lines. God has already revealed His truth to us clearly in His Word.

I am the Lord, and there is no other. I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob's descendants, "Seek me in vain." I, the Lord, speak the truth; I declare what is right.
--Isaiah 45:18c-19
