Description

1. Brown states on his website that his books are not anti- christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that book The Da Vinci Code is simply " an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith."

2. "Although it is obvious that much of what Brown presented in his novel as absolutely true and accurate is neither of those, some of that material is of course essential to the intrigue, and screenwriter Akiva Golan has retained the novel's core, the Grail- related material: the sacred feminine, Mary Magdalene's marriage, the Priory of sion, certain aspects of Leonardo's art, and so on." How far do you agree with this observation of Norris J. Lach?
