"Breaking the Da Vinci Code is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the pernicious nature of The Da Vinci Code." - David Neff, Editor & Vice-President, Christianity Today "Ordinarily, an entire book would hardly be necessary to refute the errors in The Da Vinci Code - just a trenchant review article. Yet Dan Brown's book is so packed with historical error, deception, and falsehood, as well as outright hostility to the truths of Christianity, that it does indeed take a book to correct the record. Breaking the Da Vinci Code is a welcome literary antidote against literary poison." - Paul L. Maier, Professor of History (Western Mich. U.) and Author of More Than a Skeleton "From my Roman Catholic tradition, I am happy to join Darrell and his Protestant tradition to affirm that the 'myth' of The da Vinci Code does not have a leg to stand on in its attempt to dethrone the two-thousand-year-old Christian story of what God has done for us in and through Jesus Christ. He has 'broken' The Da Vinci Code." - Francis J. Moloney, S.D.B., D.Phil (from Foreword), Dean, School of Theology and Religious Studies, The Catholic University of America "Finding the real Jesus: Was Leonardo da Vinci the one person who stumbled onto a Vatican plot to conceal the truth about Jesus and then exposed it in his famous work of art "The Last Supper"? Have sinister global religious organizations suppressed secrets that reveal "the real Jesus"? These are the questions people are asking after reading The Da Vinci Code. Can the so-called "secret" Gnostic Gospels lead us to a Jesus we don't know?; Did Jesus marry and have children? Was Mary Magdalene really one of the apostles?; Were the New Testament Gospels assembled in the way "the code" implies?; Just how much of The Da Vinci Code should we believe? Many have been troubled by the unorthodox historical claims found in Dan Brown's novel while others have excitedly embraced its version of Christian history. Breaking the Da Vinci Code will help you recognize the agenda that lurks behind the codes. Darrell L. Bock will help you break the Da Vinci Code - to distinguish fictitious entertainment from genuine historical elements of Christian faith. But be prepared. As Dr. Bock warns, "There are some interesting - even alarming - surprises along the way" as you discover the most important code of all." "I love a spinning tall tale as much as any novelist, but I was disturbed by the blatant attack on the tenets of Christianity put out so plausibly in The Da Vinci Code. If Dan Brown had read a clear, concise explanation with irrefutable evidence of who Jesus really was, like this excellent book by Dr. Darrell Bock, he might not have swallowed Satan's age-old attack on the deity of Christ. I'll keep Breaking the Da Vinci Code on my reference shelf." - Colleen Coble - Author of Without a Trace.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The NIV Application Commentary helps you communicate and apply biblical text effectively in today's context. To bring the ancient messages of the Bible into today's world, each passage is treated in three sections: Original Meaning. Concise exegesis to help readers understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its historical, literary, and cultural context. Bridging Contexts. A bridge between the world of the Bible and the world of today, built by discerning what is timeless in the timely pages of the Bible. Contemporary Significance. This section identifies comparable situations to those faced in the Bible and explores relevant application of the biblical messages. The author alerts the readers of problems they may encounter when seeking to apply the passage and helps them think through the issues involved. This unique, award-winning commentary is the ideal resource for today's preachers, teachers, and serious students of the Bible, giving them the tools, ideas, and insights they need to communicate God's Word with the same powerful impact it had when it was first written. Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable — but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
