Hi Judy,

 

If you go way back in the archives you will see a review that I did for this book.  Below are some web resources.

http://www.fpcboulder.org/images/ministries/adult/davinci.pdf  Scroll down to the bottom where they list a number of pretty good resources and reviews.  These should help you come to grasp with the essential teachings this ‘fiction’ book popularizes.

 

Basic premise:  Jesus and Mary Magdalene marry secretly and have a baby girl.  This girl is hidden by a sect within the Roman Catholic Church.  This girl (referred to as the sacred feminine) is actually the Holy Grail.  This is rediscovered in the present day.  The book is based upon subtle and not so subtle Gnostic teachings.  For the record it is rather a fun read if one was able to lay aside the theology he is trumpeting.  It is because it is fun (nice short chapters with hooks at the end of each of them that make you want to read the next one) that it is so popular and therefore possibly dangerous.

 

Take a quick visit to www.amazon.com and look up this book.  There are a number of lists of Christian sources.  For example: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0785260463/qid=1106141811/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-5117825-4600018?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

Hope this helps.

 

Jonathan

Say Lance (the Bookman), do you sell and/or have you read the DaVinci code and if so do you

have an opinion about it?  Aso anyone else on TT. My neice in Australia is reading it and she is

totally anti Bible, anti Church that my interest has been tweaked because she says she "likes" it. jt
