Most of the responses to The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown deal strictly with facts (or the lack thereof). But what about the big picture? What does the novel communicate and how has it impacted our culture? As Christians, how ought we to respond? The Gospel According to the Da Vinci Code by Kenneth [...]

However, what does a well-established, self-proclaimed agnostic think of it? New Testament scholar Bart D. Ehrman voices his appraisal in Truth and Fiction in the Da Vinci Code. The [...]

De-Coding Da Vinci by Amy Welborn is the best selling Catholic response to Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. Welborn explains that “much of the foundation for The Da Vinci Code’s plot might seem new and intricately creative, but the harsh truth is that most of it isn’t new at all.” (15) In her book [...]

Similar to Lee Strobel’s “Case for…” books, Exploring the Da Vinci Code takes an investigative approach interviewing Christian scholars about controversial issues. The book is an adapted form of the interviews Strobel conducted for the DVD of his Discussing the Da Vinci Code Curriculum Kit. It is essentially the same material with added commentary throughout. [...]

One of foundational claims of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown is that the Bible of Christian tradition is unreliable. The result is that our idea of Jesus doesn’t match up with the real Jesus who was married to Mary Magdalene and had a child with her. Rather than respond directly to the speculations [...]

Christian apologists have been quick to respond to the historical inaccuracies taught in The Da Vinci Code. However, few have done much work on one of its central themes, “the sacred feminine,” which is deeply rooted in a pagan worldview. Pastor James Garlow and Dr. Peter Jones co-authored Cracking Da Vinci’s Code to respond to [...]

Well over a dozen books have hit the shelves responding to the claims of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Some have attributed this phenomenon to the marketing of various publishers trying to gain some revenue from the popular novel and forthcoming movie. There is likely some truth to that claim, but I believe [...]

Of the books responding to the claims of The Da Vinci Code, this is one of the shortest, weighing in at 81 pages. After a foreword by Hank Hanegraaff, historian Paul Maier offers a chapter pointing out why many of the claims of the novel are false. Though The Da Vinci Code is fiction, Dr. [...]
