Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code has become the best-selling hardcover adult novel of all time, spouting a tenuous postmodern worldview akin to the age-old heresy of "Gnosticism." Though Gnosticism has been refuted repeatedly throughout the history of Christianity, and many of Brown's sources have been proven frauds, people are still reading Brown's books to become "enlightened." The Gospel According to The Da Vinci Code not only refutes the philosophies behind this blockbuster book. It also looks at Brown's other writings to form a clearer picture of the worldview that guides his writings, why this worldview is so popular and what the church must do in response.
I read the book "The Da Vinci Code" and found it to be extremely disturbing. In fact I was furious after completing it. I kept saying "Where lies the truth in this book"? Did someone jump of the train too soon? Then fortunately for me, a friend informed me that your book was being written. For that I say thank you. You do an excellent job of dispelling a number of innaccuracies while empowering the readers to validate the "facts". Though the Da Vinci Code is a work of FICTION, it is written in a fashion in which it may lead to the clouding of the senses! I half expected your book to be a "preachy" rhetoric but it was by far anything but. So my thanks goes out to you for putting a fresh perspective out there for readers to enjoy and to provoke thought so that they too will seek the TRUTH. Sincerely, Wm. Quinones

I wondered what the hubbabaloo about the Da Vinci Code, so when I received the ARC to review this book, I was eager to start it. I was a little confused with Code book, because I liked the story, but found some of the narrative a little boggling, but this book, the Gospel according to, was amazing complex and simple at the same time. These authors take the reader piece by piece through the Dan Brown book and shows who, what, where, when and whys the book is a failure on so many levels. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoyed the Code or didn't like hte code...either way you'll be enlighted!!
