Church historians de Flon and Vidmar use a reader-friendly question and answer format to separate fact from fiction and to go beyond the endless refutations of Dan Brown's assertions in his mega bestseller "The Da Vinci Code" to focus on positive and, in some cases surprising, aspects of Church history.

Review:

The Da Vinci Code (no one in his own time called him that--his real name was Leonardo) is well-spun hokum, a compelling story permeated by absurd fantasy and dishonest history. The authors of this restrained, careful, and intelligent critique separate the story from the errors of the history. The result is devastating. No responsible reader of "The Code" should miss this analysis.

Synopsis:

Answers questions about "The Da Vinci Code" and the novel's relation to Catholicism, pointing out misrepresentations of church history and doctrine and revealing many positive aspects of the Catholic tradition.
