From AudioFile
This fascinating contribution to the DA VINCI CODE controversy, ably narrated with only occasional excesses, is one of many rebuttals to the assault on conservative Christianity that Dan Brown's novel represents. Like arguments on both sides of the issue, the writing is full of pejorative hyperbole and logical lapses. But it contributes to the discussion by laying out some important differences in the way Christ is regarded by traditional Christians as compared to the Gnostic Christians, whose gospels were suppressed after Christ's death. With only some moralizing, the program tries to answer the question of whether understanding Jesus in Gnostic terms is part of a neo-pagan, quasi-religious movement or a healthy broadening of our relationship with God.

Customer Reviews

Interesting, a recommended read
I didn't find the way this book was written particularly impressive, but it still contains some useful and interesting information. I have not read any of the other books out there that debate Dan Brown's ideas, so I have nothing to compare this book to, but the fact remains that Dan Brown does not have everything correct. I found it to be an interesting read regardless of one's opinion on "The Davinci Code" or one's religious persuasion. It is always a good idea to read as much as possible and do your own research from more than one point of view.

Nevermind the man behind the curtain
oh bother, next they'll be saying the easter bunny, tooth fairy and santa clause are fictional characters too.

Make-Believe-Land is so much more

a) comfortable
b) intellectually non-challenging
c) ideologically compatible
d) feel good
e) all of the above

Christian attempt at damage control
Title says it all.

If the bible-thumpers have nothing to hide, why are they having a conniption over The Da Vinci Code?

Makes you wonder....
