Anotace knihy

A staggeringly popular work of fiction, Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" has stood atop "The New York Times" Bestseller List for well over a year, with millions of copies in print. But, this fast-paced mystery is unusual in that the author states up front that the historical information in the book is all factually accurate. But, is this claim true? As historian Bart D. Ehrman shows in this informative and witty book, "The Da Vinci Code" is filled with numerous historical mistakes. Did the ancient church engage in a cover-up to make the man Jesus into a divine figure? Did Emperor Constantine select for the New Testament - from some 80 contending Gospels - the only four Gospels that stressed that Jesus was divine? Was Jesus Christ married to Mary Magdalene? Did the Church suppress Gospels that told the secret of their marriage? Bart Ehrman thoroughly debunks all of these claims. But, the book is not merely a laundry list of Brown's misreading of history. Throughout, Ehrman offers a wealth of fascinating background information - all historically accurate - on early Christianity. He describes, for instance, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls (which are not Christian in content, contrary to The Da Vinci Code); outlines in simple terms how scholars of early Christianity determine which sources are most reliable; and explores the many other Gospels that have been found in the last half century. Ehrman separates fact from fiction, the historical realities from the flights of literary fancy. Readers of "The Da Vinci Code" who would like to know the truth about the beginnings of Christianity and the life of Jesus will find this book riveting.
