About this listen

 Dan Brown's immensely popular New York Times best-selling The Da Vinci Code is one of the most successful books of recent history. It has captivated millions the world over with its enthralling suspense and its provocative questions about the true nature of Jesus' life.

But is there any truth to this clever work of fiction? Brown makes the extraordinary claim that all the historical information in his book is factually true. Historian Bart D. Ehrman, an authority on Jesus and the early Church, reveals that Brown's book is actually riddled with historical errors. In witty fashion, Ehrman separates fact from fiction, delivering the truth behind the code.

Critic Reviews

"His is a documentary approach, avoiding speculation and theory. This tone distinguishes the book from many other responses to Brown's novel that uphold a particular theological agenda....This is a very readable treatment of some difficult themes." (Publishers Weekly)

I enjoyed this book by Bart Erhman very much it gives a good overview of the role fictional accounts play in people’s interest in history. Bart is so knowledgeable it is a pleasure to learn about this period of history and the methods used in the study of history. I especially enjoyed hear about the Dead Sea scrolls and other recovered historical documents - highly recommended!

Great little listen
