The Da Vinci Code: A Quest for Answers
By Josh McDowell
|
The research on the current generation of young people reveals an alarming fact: they have redefined what it means to be Christian. The majority of our churched young people do not believe Christ is the Son of God, do not believe the Holy Spirit is a real entity, and think ‘doing good' earns them a place in heaven. And just as disturbing is the fact that their attitudes and behavior are virtually no different than those of non-Christians. You and your friends won’t be able to put down this compelling book where Josh McDowell examines the real history behind The Da Vinci Code. Told as a story of 3 students who are confused about what is fact and what is fiction in The Da Vinci Code, you will be equipped with real answers. And you will have a great resource to put into the hands of seekers and skeptics alike so that they can find real answers – especially the answer to how they can have a relationship with Jesus Christ. |
The Da Vinci Code: Fact or Fiction?
By Hank Hanegraaff and Paul L. Maier
|
People are talking. The DaVinci Code has been on the New York Times best-seller list for almost a year and is raising a variety of responses from Christians and non-Christians alike. Some are outraged and upset by the claims of Dan Brown, while others are left utterly confused and don't know what to believe. The DaVinci Code: Fact or Fiction? explodes the myths of the book and shows the reliability of Scripture, the divinity of Christ, as well as the historical facts for the Priory of Zion and the Knights Templar. This is the only hands-on accessible reference guide. The DaVinci Code: Fact or Fiction? helps you turn debate about the book into an evangelistic opportunity. |

Millions have read The DaVinci Code. Within weeks of its release, it shot to the #1 sales spot on every major U.S. best-seller list. It has been translated into 40 different languages. Additionally, Columbia Pictures has signed for the movie rights and is planning a 2006 release. The DaVinci Code popularizes ancient Christian conspiracies that are in need of a convincing rebuttal as provided in The DaVinci Deception. Was Jesus really married to Mary Magedalene? Did they actually have children who intermarried with the French royal family? Has the church been hiding the truth for centuries? In his best-selling work of fiction, The DaVinci Code, Dan Brown blurs the lines between history and fiction giving the impression they are one and the same-and that Christianity is based on a lie. In The DaVinci Deception, renowned theologian and pastor of the world famous Moody Church in Chicago, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, examines the "facts" behind the best-selling novel, clarifies the issues involved in the deception and equips readers with the truth.
