Articles about the DaVinci Code
In The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown makes many incorrect assertions about a supposed marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, about Mary Magdalene, about how we got the Bible, and about Jesus' divinity. He thinks these assertions are based on historical documents. In these articles I show that each of his assertions is based on faulty interpretations of those documents and the historical facts they present. For those desiring more explanation I provide links to other resources that give more detailed background information to support my answers.

It is amazing how inaccurate the book is about non-reliogious aspects. Each criticism is concise and has links to more information. (Opens in new window)
