Challenging The Da Vinci Code

The upcoming movie stars Tom Hanks. It's based on the best-selling novel by Dan Brown that has already raked in tens of millions of dollars, and has caused controversy worldwide. Since the film is based on the best-selling thriller, it is being characterized as one of the most controversial movies ever made. The Da Vinci Code, opening in U.S. theaters May 19, is a Gnostic tool celebrating radical feminism, but adding to a conspiracy launched before the birth of Christ. A week before American audiences receive the opportunity to see the drama on the big screen, a documentary exposé on the novel and the movie will be shown to a national TV audience. It's called "Breaking the Da Vinci Code," and it was created for television airing May 6 at 8 p.m. on the i network, formerly PAX TV. It will be shown again May 13 at 8 p.m. and again May 26. As is The Da Vinci Code movie, this documentary is based on another popular book of the same name. The documentary, say producers, answers all the lingering questions and explodes myths perpetuated by the novel and the upcoming movie – expected to be a blockbuster hit. In the two-hour episode you will see interviews with authors and the world's leading experts in archeology, theology, art history, philosophy and science. Much of the controversy surrounding the book and the film is the proposition that Jesus was actually married to Mary Magdalene. The story line claims she had a child with Jesus – an heir that became France's royal bloodline. It further suggests Catholic secret societies hid these and many other secrets about Jesus. It supposes Leonardo Da Vinci and Sir Isaac Newton were in on the secret. Da Vinci, the book says, tried to covertly alert the world through his painting of "The Last Supper." Does Dan Brown's book, and the upcoming movie, really undercut basic Christian tenets? Is any of it true? Check out the documentary, or read THE DA VINCI DECEPTION by Erwin W. Lutzer, THE DA VINCI DECEPTION by Chuck Missler, and THE DA VINCI HOAX by Carl E. Olson and Sandra Miesel, and then draw your own conclusions. My book, LEONARDO CONSPIRACY is a fictional novel that also challenges the ideas supported by The Da Vinci Code. Keep checking my site out to find out when my novel will be available in bookstores.
