Plot Summary for\nThe Da Vinci Code (2006)\n\nWhile in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon ('Tom Hanks') receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. Solving the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci - clues visible for all to see, and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion - an actual secret society. In a breathless race through Paris, London and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to work for Opus Dei - a clandestine, Vatican-sanctioned Catholic organization believed to have long plotted to seize the Priory's secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's secret - and a stunning historical truth - will be lost forever.\n\nSummary written by bondish\n\nWhen respected American religious symbology expert Dr. Robert Langdon(Hanks) is summoned to the Louvre by the French version of the FBI, led by Captain Bezu Fache(Reno), he soon discovered that he is the #1 suspect for the murder of a historian Langdon had been scheduled to meet with.. Assisted by a French cryptographer and government agent named Sophie(Tautou), Langdon is challenged to decipher a chain of cryptic codes and puzzles, all the while trying to stay ahead of Fache's lawmen in a chase through the Louvre, and out into the Parisian cityscape, and finally across the channel to England. Can Langdon and Sophie decipher the nature of a secret dating back to Leonardo Da Vinci and earlier before those responsible for the historian's murder add them to their hit list..?\n\nSummary written by Austin4577@aol.com

It is a movie based on the book The Davinci Code by author Dan Brown. It is a tale of murder and mystery surrounding the search for the Holy Grail, commonly thought of as the cup Jesus used in The Last Supper. If you don't want to know the plot, stop reading now.\n\nDan Brown introduces theories of Jesus having a bloodline AFTER him (not just before him through his mother)through Mary Magdeline. Dan Brown also hints at Mary Magdaline being one of his original 12 disciples-- the one Jesus refers to as "the Beloved Disciple" or the disciple that Jesus loved.\n\nDavinci and other artists of the time were thought to be in secret societies and used their art/paintings to hide clues to lead to the location of the "real" Holy Grail. There are depictions of religious ceremonies that have sex involved. It is an entertaining book--nothing more, and I am sure the movie will draw much controversy. My suggestion is that for the truth about Christ, read THIS bestseller:\n\n"The Bible"

Read Wilton Barnhardt's "Gospel".  In my opinion, it is of the same ilk (this isn't a new genre at all) but better, as I prefer his prose.\n\nI also think you could include new author Elizabeth Kostova, who just published a thriller in the same vein.\n\nThere have been many other authors who have written what I call "conspiracy novels" about the nature of Christ.\n\nThere are also some old school books like "The Talisman" by Sir Walter Scott, and "The Robe" by Lloyd Douglas.  The Talisman is really old school (almost 200 years old) and traces a coin that was won in the gambling at Christ's feet through the ages and its transport to Scotland with the heart of Robert the Bruce (in reality, the coin exists, in the bossom of our Clan Chief, Lockhart, in Ayrshire, Scotland).\n\nPoke around, there is lots of material including one novel about the a new set of dead sea scrolls that has Jesus's bones turn up in the tomb of Joseph...etc.\n\nAnd according to court accounts, you can read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", which Brown is accused of plagiarising (remember the flap about Harry Potter being plagiarised?

Why is "The DaVinci Code" not fiction anymore? I missed that announcement...Anyhoo, if you want to hear solid evidence for Christ, I suggest reading The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel. I am reading it right now, so I can't tell you too much about it, but he talks to all sorts of scholars, some Christian Bible Scholars, some atheists like himself. He presents the evidence (eyewitness, documentary, corroborating, rebuttal, scientific, psychological, circumstantial, and fingerprint evidence). I'm still in the chapter about eyewitness evidence, but it is really, really good. Reading this is a great way to get multiple views, so you can choose.

It is a thriller story involving secret societies, conspiracies, the Catholic Church, and the fictional "truth" about Jesus Christ. Here is the author's own summary: \n\nA renowned Harvard symbologist is summoned to the Louvre Museum to examine a series of cryptic symbols relating to Da Vinci's artwork. In decrypting the code, he uncovers the key to one of the greatest mysteries of all time . . . and he becomes a hunted man.\nDuring the course of the novel it is alleged that the Catholic Church is perpetuating a major, centuries-long conspiracy to hide the "truth" about Jesus Christ from the public, and it or its agents are willing to stop at nothing, including murder, to do so.

You can't use an exact title of any previously written work, no. You could call it "The Da Vinci Codec", though.

The book was really informative on a variety of topics although the ending of every chapter had a hook to keep you reading. Even though you felt manipulated into reading on, it was willingly so, since the book was so exciting to read. It was about a mystery, solving a murder, and heavily referenced Catholic Church history, Christianity's history, and religious sects that have sprang up relating to both. In addition, the book also appeals because it contains riddles and puzzles...clues left by the dead man to help his daughter find an important religious artifact.\n\nI highly recommend it.

Try this link....\n\nhttp://www.leaderu.com/focus/davincicode.html\n\nJosh McDowell put together a short book entitled, "The DaVinci Code: A Quest for Answers."\n\nBrown's book will be easy to disprove. His research is awful, his conclusions are just plain wrong most of the time, his grasp of history is simply terrible, and he makes things up... remember... this is a fictional novel.\nBest of luck to you!
