Facts Only, Please

Many have read the book, "The Da Vinci Code", enjoyed the story side of it and then became curious later, to say the least, to find that what initially presents itself as a murder mystery novel claims to be based on facts. Christians especially perceive that the so-called facts assault the core of Christianity itself.

This is the subject today of a posting at the WorldNetDaily.com website titled, "Experts to fact check the 'Da Vinci Code'":

Author and television pastor Dr. D. James Kennedy announced yesterday he will host a one-hour TV documentary next month meant to "fact check" the popular book "The Da Vinci Code" just before release of the movie version of the story.

According to a statement from Kennedy's Coral Ridge Ministries, the show, entitled "The Da Vinci Delusion," "enlists a band of scholars, theologians, and authors to fact check" the book's assertions "against evidence from history and the Bible."

"The Da Vinci Delusion" will air on May 13 and 14 on "The coral Ridge Hour". For local times and stations, go to davincidelusion.org.

Meanwhile, Grizzly Adams Productions, a major documentary maker, has released a two-hour DVD critique of "The Da Vinci Code" ahead of the Hollywood movie's release. Called "Breaking the Da Vinci Code", the new documentary was created for an anticipated television airing later this spring by Grizzly Adams Productions.

Marketed exclusively through ShopNetDaily, the documentary explodes myths perpetuated by the novel and the upcoming movie. Included are interviews with authors and leading world experts in archaelogy, theology, art history, philosophy and science.
