LIBRARY CORNER: "Truth and Fiction in "The DaVinci Code" by Bart D. Ehrman

The two books by Dan Brown, "The Di Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons" have provoked a lot of debate over the past couple of years, mostly because their author, Dan Brown has claimed that the facts in "The DiVinci Code" are historically accurate.

Bart D. Ehrman first examines the process of how historians review source documents and determine what in fact can be known as historically accurate. Then he reviews The DaVinci Code and finds some serious flaws with the historical claims in The DaVinci Code. Was Jesus married to Mary Magdalene? Was he celibate? How many of his contemporaries wrote about Him before 100AD?

Well, you will have to get this book to find the answers. It is new to the Eager Free Public Library.
