The phenomenal popularity of Brown’s vehicle for this anti-Christian message will provide believers with many opportunities to discuss the book/movie in light of the Bible. From this comes the title, “The Da Vinci Code.” As the primary characters pursue the clues left by the murder victim, author Dan Brown uses the story to convey his beliefs that, among other things, the Bible is a corrupt, human document, that Jesus is not God, that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and produced a child, that Mary Magdalene is a goddess to be worshipped, and that sex should be seen - as in pagan religions - as a means of experiencing God. One of the purported members of this ancient group was Leonardo Da Vinci who, according to this protective band, embedded aspects of this secret in his artwork for the initiated to see. The curator is the leader of a small, clandestine society that has protected this secret through history. Before dying, he leaves a series of clues about a secret allegedly suppressed by the church since the time of Jesus. The victim is the curator of the Louvre Museum in Paris. The fact that Brown’s tale is the best-selling adult novel of all time - with more than 40 million copies sold - as well as a blockbuster film indicates why Christians find themselves encountering the scandalous beliefs of this story. This line from Dan Brown’s novel, “The Da Vinci Code,” is an illustration of why the 2003 book/2006 movie is so controversial. (BP)–“Almost everything our fathers taught us about Christ is false.”
