'Secrets Of The Code: The Unauthorised Guide To The Mysteries Behind The Da Vinci Code' is the definitive guide to the novel and provides the curious reader with an authoritative sweeping tour, guided by renowned experts, through the many provocative ideas raised in the novel.
How to satisfy the endless hunger among the millions of readers caught up in the Da Vinci Code mania? 'Secrets Of The Code: The Unauthorised Guide To The Mysteries Of The Da Vinci Code' is the most comprehensive, literate guide available for interpreting the intellectual intricacies of Dan Brown's bestselling novel.
This unprecedented volume provides a wealth of fresh insight from the world's most respected authorities on the novel's controversial historical, religious, artistic and scientific themes. Interviews and commentary from renowned scientists, theologians, archaeologists, philosophers, historians and art historians address such provocative topics as:
- What was the true identity of Mary Magdalene? Was Mary Magdalene a disciple of Jesus and did she write her own gospel?
- Was Jesus married to Mary Magdalene? Did they have a child together?
- In the late 1960s, the Church publicly reversed its 1,400-year-old-position that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, but this revised history was never effectively communicated to the public. Has there been a 'cover-up' of the role of the women in church history?
- Did some geniuses of art and science - like Leonardo Da Vinci and Isaac Newton - belong to secret societies that had the most compelling 'insider information' in history? Did Leonardo convey some of the ideas in The Last Supper and other paintings?
Packed with excerpts from many original works, all-new material, and interviews with prominent scholars, Secrets of the Code will satisfy readers' curiosity, engage their imagination, and provide them with insights to better understand the multi-faceted mysteries, secret codes, and messages embedded in the novel.
