Synopsis

Many who have read the New York Times bestseller The Da Vinci Code have questions that arise from seven codes-expressed or implied-in Dan Brown's book. In Breaking the Da Vinci Code: Answers to the Questions Everyone's Asking, Darrell Bock, Ph.D., responds to the novelist's claims using central ancient texts and answers the following questions:Who was Mary Magdalene? Was Jesus Married? Would Jesus Being Single be Un-Jewish? Do the So-Called Secret Gnostic Gospels Help Us Understand Jesus? What Is the Remaining Relevance of The Da Vinci Code? Darrell Bock's research uncovers the origins of these codes by focusing on the 325 years immediately following the birth of Christ, for the claims of The Da Vinci Code rise or fall on the basis of things emerging from this period. Breaking the Da Vinci Code, now available in audio, distinguishes fictitious entertainment from historical elements of the Christian faith. For by seeing these differences, one can break the Da Vinci code.

And when Brown mixed that with religion religion professors took notice......more

Goodreads review by Mark

Twenty years after it was released, Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is still selling copies. It has spawned a genre of books debunking it for its many historical and theological errors. Based loosely on Baigent and Leigh's Holy Blood and Holy Grail work, it puts forward to idea that Jesus had a wife (M......more

Goodreads review by Tim

This book is really an apologetic for Christianity and an apologetic against the “facts” in The Da Vinci Code, a book by Dan Brown and a movie by the same name. Darrell Bock is a well respected scholar in New Testament studies and he wrote this book in response to the many fallacies included in The......more
