Reader Reviews:
Brilliant background to the truth behind Da Vinci's code (0/0 people found this helpful)
This is a great. Short, easy to read. Accurate historical information easily presented. Sorts the facts from the fiction behind Dan Brown's book.
Brown mere fiction (1/1 people found this helpful)
With the film of Brown's fiction out interest rose concerning his most successful novel which Williams says had earned Brown 140 million pounds by the end of 2004. Willliams lectures on church history and is well qualified to debunk Brown's fiction. He shows why, contra Brown, the church has not down played the humanity of Jesus nor the importance of Mary Magdalene.
This is a short but very effective book. It shows why the New Testament is a reliable witness to Jesus. Brown is not even a reliable interpreter of the Gnostic sources he cites in his fiction.
Williams encourages readers to go back to the real sources on Jesus, the gospels to find the real truth. Read Williams, read the gospels and discover the truth. This book is an excellent resource to give to anyone interested in the Christian faith anyone who may be intrigued and led astray by Brown's popular fiction.
A brief reposte (3/5 people found this helpful)
If you find the Da Vinci code intriguing, but don't want to spend days researching the background - this will help separate the history from the fiction; 30-60 minutes to read & clearly presented.
Don't think I've got anything against Dan Brown's book - it's a reasonable novel - and this author doesn't attack it either, he's simply out to provide background to the real history.
