The Bible Code
The Bible Code is a best-selling
controversial book by Michael Drosnin, first published in 1997, that describes a
Bible code, in this case messages that allegedly are encoded in the
Torah. The purported messages are supposed to be hidden in the Torah by placing their letters at equal intervals in the text. Drosnin's book is based on the technique described in the paper "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis" by Eliyahu Rips of the Hebrew University in Israel together with Doron Witztum and Yoav Rosenberg. A sequel,
The Bible Code II, was published in 2002 and also reached best-seller status.
