Dan Brown’s most popular and controversial novel, The Da Vinci Code, will hit movie screens in May. The book has regenerated historical research, philosophical discussions and heated debates over the historical facts about Jesus Christ. The book has also drawn considerable fire from religious groups. The build-up to the movies release is sure to be just as intense.
The plot of Brown’s novel weaves together the Gnostic gospels and medieval folklore that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and had a daughter whose descendants founded the Merovingian dynasty. According to Brown, the legend of the Holy Grail is about Mary’s womb, not the last supper chalice. Brown’s thriller is set in the present day.
A Roman Catholic sect called Opus Dei is killing people to hush up the secret about Christ and Mary. Why? Knowledge of their descendents would topple the authority of Roman Catholicism. The story makes Da Vinci to be the past leader of a secret order- the Priori of Sion- to protect the documents proving the bloodline of Christ’s child. As the plot thickens, the leading feminine character of the story becomes a key puzzle piece in breaking the code identifying the location of Mary Magdalene’s tomb and the identity of Christ’s descendents on Earth today.
For me it’s part of an awesome story, and it’s an attempt to recapture the original truth about Jesus Christ.
