Hooper, can you remind us of what the charges were against Dan Brown? One person closely watching this case is David Hooper, he's an intellectual property lawyer in Britain and he's on the phone. Their book, which was labeled nonfiction, set forth the idea that Jesus and Mary Magdalene produced a child, which is a major theory of the Da Vinci Code. And today, a British judge ruled that the author of that book, Dan Brown, did not plagiarize the work of two other authors. That is what The Da Vinci Code is all about-presenting a false view of who Jesus Christ truly was and then explaining why this “truth” has been 'hidden' for nearly 2000 years.Gnostic Christian scriptures are also part of the plot of a bestselling text from today, the Da Vinci Code. People do not want to believe that Jesus is God or that He is the Savior, so they make up falsehoods about Him in order to create a false Jesus that they can believe in.

The Da Vinci Code is in reality an attack on the Person of Jesus Christ. Rather, the church protected the truth about Jesus being God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14). The church did not cover up the truth about Jesus being married to Mary Magdalene. Even these “gospels” only give hints of a relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Yes, the early church attempted to destroy many “gospels” about Jesus, but they did so because they were almost universally recognized as heretical, not to cover anything up. But the truth is that Jesus was not married to Mary Magdalene or anyone else. Since there is no historical, biblical, or theological basis for his beliefs, Dan Brown presented them in a fictional account. Dan Brown is of the persuasion that these ideas about Jesus are true. It is a well-written, entertaining book, but that’s all there is to it. All the Christian books which told of Jesus’ relationship with Mary Magdalene were destroyed, and any evidence of such a relationship was covered up.Īgain, The Da Vinci Code is fiction. The Da Vinci Code states that these facts about Jesus Christ were covered up by the early church in order to protect the idea of Jesus’ divinity. Mary Magdalene and Jesus’ descendants were the “holy grail” that carries the blood of Christ. In the book, Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had children. The Da Vinci Code is essentially an attempt to 'humanize' Jesus Christ by inventing a story of how His true identity was distorted and hidden for nearly two thousand years. As much as author Dan Brown would like us to believe, The Da Vinci Code has no solid basis historically, biblically, or theologically. Is there truth to Dan Brown’s bestseller The Da Vinci Code? It is important to remember that The Da Vinci Code is entirely fictional.
