Fact and Fiction in The DaVinci Code

Do you or someone you know have questions about issues raised Dan Brown's best-selling novel? Now you can get the answers!

Fact and Fiction in The DaVinci Code addresses over 70 different issues raised by Dan Brown's best-selling novel.

&#8226 Would you like to know how Paul's Letter to the Galatians proves Jesus did not wed Mary Magdalene?

&#8226 Maybe you need help in explaining why pagan symbols have an important role in Christian artwork.

&#8226 Perhaps you would like to find out who Leonardo actually used to portray the beardless apostle next to Christ (Leonardo wrote down what he intended, but Dan Brown apparently failed to read what the artist wrote).

&#8226 Have you ever wondered why some Christians and even some Catholics (and certainly Mr. Brown) mistakenly think sex is dirty?

&#8226 Would you like to know the real origins of the name Mona Lisa (yes, Leonardo's contemporaries tell us)?

&#8226 Should we be ashamed of the Church's role in the European witch trials?

&#8226 Is the Silas character actually following Catholic doctrine by inflicting pain and death on his opponents?

&#8226 Why does Dan Brown lay such stress on Q, the Gnostic Gospels and similar documents, and what should our response to this be?

Answers to these questions and many more can be found in Fact and Fiction in the DaVinci Code. Since each answer is provided in exactly the same order the issue is raised in the book, and each answer is keyed to the chapter and page number in the original novel, it's easy to quickly find the answers you need! In addition, answers are cross-linked to one another, so you can more easily follow the thread of Mr. Brown's argument as he weaves his web. The work is an enormous help in explaining the Catholic answer to the pagan problems posed by the best-selling novel.

With graduate degrees in both European history and theology, plus a popular book on Christian sexuality to his credit, Steve Kellmeyer is very admirably suited to weigh the claims made in The DaVinci Code against the historical and theological evidence. Join him as he works page by page through the novel, highlighting the fact and the fiction!
