This book provides readers with substantial background information to expose the lies, hypocrisy, and misunderstandings in Dan Brown's novel.—Mike Medved (Host of "Honesty in American Journalism," National Newspaper Association) I found that The Da Vinci Code, when viewed more as a scholar than a believer, made me uncomfortable.—Gary Beyers (Executive Director of the Biblical Studies Association) The author gives the impression of being a historian, but in fact he is not. I believe he is interested in facts no more than he is in dramas and suspense films.—Jack Wasserman (Leonardo da Vinci Studies Expert at Temple University) If it comes to storytelling, I would give it an A; if it comes to theology and church knowledge, I would give it a C-; if it comes to explaining theological systems, I would give it an F.—James Halstead (Director of the Religious Studies Department at Dubai University)
