I find it interesting how so many “Christian” people are finding their beliefs in questions and doubting all the things they have based their lives upon. I personally have no problem with reading the book or seeing the book because I know my spirituality and beliefs are part of me and cannot be changed or diminished by this.

It’s a fiction book. That’s what no one seems to understand…it’s a fictional book with true facts weaved in for an interesting twist….it is made to play off of your existing understandings in order to intrigue you and make you think about it…..Dan Brown has never asked you to take this book as fact, and I recently watched a show on his book where he states “this is a fictional book, in no way do I intend for you to accept this as truth”
Please understand the difference between fact and fiction

Thanks for your comments. I think it is interesting to see how differently things can be viewed. There has not been any evidence that Christ was married or had children. There has not been evidence to the contrary either. However, I believe the issue here is when a fictional novel is read and then put forth as gospel truth. It is one man's literary opinion put forth in the book -- not coming from Biblical or historical evidence.

My concern is simply that the book tries to prove that Christ was not the Son of God, tries to explain away the miracles He performed, and subtly expresses the opinion that the Bible and Christianity is one big scam perpetuated by the Catholic Church.

Scary how many people are fighting to prove something which was written as a work of fiction.

Just read your comments on the Da Vinci code book (& movie?). Also read comments from Brittany M. I wanted to add my own comments so here goes: I believe that Jesus Christ was & is the son of God. I also believe that God sent his spirit to dwell on earth in the HUMAN FORM of a man and to provide salvation for sinners and a way of life He would like us to lead. I have also read the book but not seen the movie. I have also read Dan Brown’s other books including his devils and deamons book. Is it not possible that he sent his spirit in the form of Jesus Christ to experience all the temptations of humans? To know how hard it is for us to keep faith? To show us a way (even with all the temptations) in which it is possible to live a human life and still be filled with the love and forgiveness of God? Why should Christ have been allowed to escape the human failings we all share? This book is not only about Christ but about what organized religion has done in the name of Christ. Sorry so long but I could keep going for a long time. So what if he had a love of Mary Magdelene and/or also fostered a child? Is this considered a failing or sin on the part of Christ. Christ did walk this earth…historically, physically, and spiritually. NO PROBLEM. Diane M.

Hi, I found your page while looking for Scrapbooking ideas for a school porject and i saw your blog on the Di Vinci Code. It was awesome and inspiring to see you write in defending the faith and posting it on the web i think some of us Christians are too silent about our beliefs and let the world go on believing lies. I myself am debating whether to see the movie or not. I’d be interested in it so that i may have info to defend the Bible and against the contradictions of Dan Brown. We have been learning about him and his book in my Current Events(Bible) class in school and i cant believe the things Mr. Brown claims in his “Factual” as he says “novel”. If it were just a novel i would not have sucha problem with his so called historical conclusions let him think what he will but the problems remians in his claim of the books factual and historical standing, whcih confuses non(as well as beilevers)-Christians. Well sorry for wrting so much but i wanted to give u my opionin and appulaude you for speaking for yourself.
