Publisher Description

The controversy grows with every sale of the bestselling novel. Throughout the contemporary fictional storyline of The Da Vinci Code, author Dan Brown skillfully weaves “historical” assertions intended to shake the very foundations of Christianity:

• Was Jesus merely human and not divine?

• Did Jesus and Mary Magdalene marry and have children?

• Is there a Holy Grail? If so, what is it and where can it be found?

Cracking Da Vinci's Code is the long-awaited answer to these and other questions. Authors James L. Garlow and Peter Jones present compelling evidence that Brown’s assertions are not only historically inaccurate, but may also contain a hidden agenda.

"This was a fascinating read about the history of Christianity and it's basic beliefs. The authors were at times a little over the top in their commentary about the facts but it was still very insightful. "

    " This sort of book really annoys me. The authors seem to have said, "Okay, we need to write something that will refute the Da Vinci Code, but the only way we can do that and hold readers' attention is if we write a stupid little story that begins each chapter and resolves itself in the epilogue. The main character of this story will convince everyone that what we've said is true." That's basically all it was. Or, let me correct myself; there was a bit of factual information in each chapter, but "Carrie's" story seemed to be the main point of the book. Carrie is struggling to find spiritual fulfillment while being bombarded with different forms of spiritual experiments from her university environment. She then meets Evan, an evangelical Christian with a major in philosophy (he's also 6'6"), who playfully argues with her about The Da Vinci Code. He attends her study group and passes out Bibles, one of which Carrie takes and reads the New Testament (like the Old Testament isn't part of the Bible of something...) after which she attends Evan's church and eventually 'invites Jesus into her heart'. Now that's all cute and fluffy, but it could hardly be considered scholarly evidence! So, long story short (or maybe semi-short) the book annoyed me because it substituted an emotional story in place of concrete evidence as its main thrust. "

    " If you are into God and Divinity and want to know more, this is your book. Personally, I couldn't read it. I was like I was going to church to hear someone talking to me about the invisible man in the sky. "
