Eye opening

I very much enjoyed this book. I have had the opportunity to show the oontents of this book to severval friends in and from mainland China and all them were intrigued. We discussed the accuracy of it and it's plausibility. They thought it's accuracy was difficult to deny. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in studying the history of chinese characters and God's design. There are stories from cultures all around the world similiar to these. Could be an accident but it is difficult to imagine how so many accidents tell the same story. Good read!

Well-researched and documented hypothesis

I am half English, half Chinese, and grew up in Asia. When I first came across the concept that the story of Genesis 1-11 could be found in the Chinese script, I was a little sceptical. However, when first looking at the word for boat, I asked the Chinese half of my family what the radicals meant, and they agreed with the conclusion of container, 8, mouths, implying the story of Noah and the Ark. Having bought The Discovery of Genesis, Genesis and the mystery confucious couldn't solve, and God's promise to the Chinese, I started reading through them to see what could be a true hypothesis. While there are some interpretations that could be read another way, for example the character for "good" is interpreted by the authors as a woman plus the son of God (Adam)...this could well be interpreted mother and baby. However, there are others that are quite revealing, such as the word "beginning" is constructed of father and garden/field. Overall, I would say these books offer a very plausible, although sometimes stretched interpretation of Chinese characters....especially since their research is based on oracle and bone inscriptions, and not just modern script. Well-researched and documented.

What an insight

I found this book to be very interesting indeed. It was well written and easy to understand. It really opened my eyes to God's creation and how it testifies to His glory. I even gave the book to a japanese girl who said that their language was written very much like the chinese, and she was amazed at its foundation. This is a must have book of interest that any Christian should have on their shelf.
