Truth and Fiction in The Da Vinci Code: A Historian Reveals What We Really Know about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Constantine

by Bart D. Ehrman

Actually, I didn’t finish reading this book because I couldn’t. I was looking forward to learning which parts of The Da Vinci Code were real because I’m interested in the history. I thought this book would be a good one because it’s written by an authority on the subject — a religious studies prof. Unfortunately, this guy continually references his own work, which leads me to question his credibility. How arrogant can you be? It’s like professors who make you buy their own books for class.
