About this title

Synopsis

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?; and just how much of The Da Vinci Code should we believe?
