Editorial Review:Nationally recognized researcher Richard Abanes, author of Harry Potter and the Bible, looks at three of the most fascinating people in history: Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, and Leonardo Da Vinci. Based on his extensive research, Abanes explores the answers to many of the questions that Dan Brown’s fictional thriller, The Da Vinci Code, raises:
- Are Da Vinci’s paintings really full of clues about an alternative religion?
- Were Jesus and Mary Magdalene married?
- Has the church suppressed the truth about the “Lost Gospels”?
- What is the real nature of the Holy Grail?
Join Richard Abanes as he “de–codes” one of the most controversial novels of our time and goes behind the scenes to separate fact from fiction.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Challenging Response.
It moves you along very quickly, and the quotes by Brown are in shaded boxes in order to help the reader know precisely where they are and helps with back-referencing. I've never really seen this approach. It actually provides a little bit of eye candy. The book is very visually oriented.
Rating: - Some good points, but some complaints too
This book is a bit of mixed bag. I have listed what I liked/disliked about this book below.
What I liked:
1. This book is concise and to the point
2. It offers a fairly thorough critique of the Da Vinci Code
3. The author's arguments are generally pretty sound. This book does a good job refuting the DVC's arguments.
4. In many ways, this is a good book to hand to a friend who asks "what's wrong with the Da Vinci Code?" It's also a good book to equip yourself to ... Read More
Rating:  - A Quick Response to the Da Vinci Code
This book was very well written and clearly lays out some of the flaws in The Da Vinci Code from both a historic and Biblical perspective. I highly recommend it for someone who wants a quick but accurate response to the Da Vinci Code.
Rating: - Essential Fallacies of the Da Vinci Code
Despite all the hype surrounding it, the DaVinci Code is really nothing new. For the longest time, enemies of the Christian faith have tried to falsely ascribe its teachings to pre-existing pagan beliefs. Abanes shows the essential differences between pagan and Christian teachings. Decades ago, the feminists had developed an elaborate mythology, not founded on facts, of onetime global goddess worship. This has been repeated by the DaVinci Code, and Abanes exposes the baselessness of this feminist pseudohistory. ... Read More
Rating: - Another good retort - but needed?
You know, this book is actually quite well researched. It's put together very simply and is organized with point/counterpoint responses. It is also well written and mildly entertaining considering the fact that it is meant only as a response to someone else's work (poor as it may be).
My only real problem with this book (and others like it) is that the author seems so offended by Dan Browns secular take on the Christian Faith. To be honest I'm not really sure what all the fuss is about. To say that ... Read More
