The
DaVinci Code has been on the New York Times bestseller list
for over two years and is raising a variety of responses from
Christians and non-Christians alike. Some are outraged and
upset by the claims of its author, while others are left confused
and don’t know what to believe. With the anticipated
release of the major motion picture this spring, people will
continue to dialogue and are certain to ask more questions.
Hank Hanegraaff and Paul Maier joined forces to write The
DaVinci Code—Fact or Fiction?, a hands-on accessible
reference guide addressing the historical and theological
inaccuracies of The DaVinci Code. Over 120,000 copies of Hanegraaff
and Maier’s book have been sold since Tyndale House
introduced it in 2004. Now, Tyndale House is making this handy
little reference book/evangelism resource available in The
Davinci Code—Fact or Fiction?
In
The DaVinci Code: Fact or Fiction? Hanegraaff and Maier explode
the myths of the book and show the reliability of Scripture,
authenticate the credentials of Christ’s deity, and
the historical facts about the Priory of Sion and the Knights
Templar.
Tyndale will feature The DaVinci Code – Fact or Fiction?
in the “DaVinci Didn’t Convince Me” marketing
campaign, a wide-reaching response to the growing interest
in The DaVinci Code, the bestselling book, soon to become
a major motion picture.
