Was Jesus really married to Mary Magdalene? Did they actually have children who intermarried with the French royal family? Has the church been hiding the truth for centuries?
In his best-selling novel The DaVinci Code, Dan Brown blurs the lines between history and fiction, leaving readers wondering. Could this really be true? And if it is true, what does it mean for us as Christians? By distorting the truth, Brown implies that Christianity is based on a lie.
In The DaVinci Deception, respected Bible teacher Erwin W. Lutzer gives you the "facts" behind the fiction in his reader-friendly, accessible style. He exposes the myths behind these and other legends, uncovers the historical distortions presented in the novel, and equips you with the real story behind this story.
Whether or not you have read Brown's novel, you will learn the historical basis of early Christianity and gain clear and authoritative answers to the confusion surrounding the life of Jesus and the Christian Faith.

At 8:48 a.m. on September 11, 2001, I was awakened by the sound of an explosion that changed the world forever. I ran up to my roof just in time to see a second Boeing 767 fly right into the second of the Twin Towers, setting it ablaze. It was obviously no accident. The two planes had been hijacked by terrorist. New York was under attack. I ran down from the roof and immediately searched the ancient code on my computer, the Bible code.
"Twin Towers" was encoded in the 3,000-year-old text. "Airplane" appeared in exactly the same place. "It caused to fall, knocked down" crossed "airplane" and "towers". What I saw happen with my own eyes on September 11, 2001, was encoded in the Bible 3,000 years ago. It was not this terrorist attack that really shook me. It was what the Bible code predicted was yet to come.
