I'm a little confused as to why people are taking this fictional novel and saying it might be factual. Wasn't is always intended to be a fictional work, not a point of controversy?
ReplyDeleteYes, it certainly is a work of fiction. Apparently Dan Brown makes the claim that his book is "based on actual history" or something like that. The problem is it buys into what a lot of people would like to think is true about the Church, people who don't really care about the accuracy of the history but would just like to have their prejudices confirmed by pseudo-historical truth claims. There has probably been more paranoia about the book on the part of Christians than there needed to be (Christians do tend to over react sometimes), but there are any number of really good books from reputable scholars, Christians (like Ben Witherington III) and others, who debunk the Da Vinci code history and unmask it for what it is - pure fiction.
