Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code Examined - Part 1 - confirms that, in spite of suggestions to the contrary, Judge Peter Smith was right in stating that Dan Brown was not a thorough researcher for his Da Vinci Code book. Written by Lookout Ministries' Director, Adrian van Leen, it provides clear evidence that Dan Brown's book is full of careless errors. With supportive evidence, including numerous links to Internet websites, readers are left with a couple of questions by the Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright and the Dean of King’s College, Richard Burridge:
‘If Brown is so careless, and carelessly inventive, in details as easy to check as those, why should we trust him in anything else?’
‘Brown is plausible but wrong…This lack of accurate research – especially in light of his accuracy claim – poses a fundamental question: if Brown can’t be trusted on matters of fact, can he be trusted on matters of faith?’
The evidence speaks loudly for itself - with a definitive and resounding: ‘NO!’
Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code Examined - Part 1 is available from CCG Ministries for A$5 plus A$1 postage (within Australia) (please check with us regarding overseas costs).
