o Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had a child
o Jesus was not considered divine until Emperor Constantine had the Bible edited
o Certain books of the Bible were banned, hidden, and eliminated because they stated that Jesus was a mere human being.
The author of The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown, says that his explanation of history is based on facts. Even though the book is fiction, it has made many people concerned about their faith and wondering if the church has deceived them.
Answers to the Da Vinci Code is clear and easy to understand, even for those who have never read the Da Vinci Code novel. The PowerPoint gives clear visual aids to help people see the truth for themselves, using time lines and historical facts. For example, a character in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, claims that that the figure seated next to Jesus in Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” painting is Mary Magdalene and not the Apostle John, because the person has long flowing hair and delicate features. The truth is that Da Vinci painted young men this way. This PowerPoint shows close-ups of other Da Vinci paintings that show men who have long hair and delicate features.
