Book Review: The Da Vinci Code Breaker by James Garlow

The Da Vinci Code Breaker is the first reference |
Entries in this book range from one sentence to several
paragraphs. They cover historical persons, church councils, and even
contemporary writers and their critics. It also covers early church, Gnostic,
and other apocryphal writings and concepts. Charts are provided periodically
for help in breaking down complex topics, such as the content of the Nag
Hammadi Library. For a few select individuals, timelines are constructed
highlighting important points in their lives. At the back of the book are a few
maps and advertisements for additional resources.
Not only is The Da Vinci Code Breaker unique in
its format, it’s also unique in quality. It covers every issue, item, and
person relevant to the subject in an accessible and informative manner. It
helps delineate the facts from the fiction in an easy-to-use format, as it
claims. Whether it’s used on its own or in conjunction with other responses to
Dan Brown’s novel, The Da Vinci Code Breaker is a necessary resource for
those who seek to be informed about the truth.

Roger,
It's amazing to me that there's so many books to counter the DaVinci Code. It looks like everyone's out to cash in on the hype.
I just watched the movie. I enjoyed it. It raises some questions concerning the divinity of Christ, church history, feminism, and canonicity. But, for the most part, it was a murder-mystery about the Priory of Sion.
One good thing that may come out of all of this is that some Christians will be more informed about church history–I don't know of any churches that are not doing a special DaVinci Code event/class/seminar.
Thanks for keeping us informed on the latest books.
Shalom,
Chong

We're not doing anything on the Da Vinci Code Movie at our church. Don't think the Da Vinci Code is making much of a splash in the African American Community of Dallas.

I stand corrected.

I got molested by a bunch of anti-DaVinci Code protesters this weekend when I went to watch Over the Hedge. It was an ironic situation. I was on their side, but I found it incredibly obnoxious. There's got to be a better way than harrassing people on their way to and from entertainment.
And by the way, you should all go see Over the Hedge. It could change you life. I watched it twice, so I'm back to normal again.
