Check out this new movie attacking the credulity of classical Christianity.

’Bowling for Columbine did it to the gun culture. Super Size Me did it to fast food. Now The God Who Wasn’t There does it to religion. Holding modern Christianity up to a bright spotlight, this bold and often hilarious new film asks the questions few dare to ask. Your guide through the world of Christendom is former fundamentalist Brian Flemming, joined by such luminaries as Jesus Seminar fellow Robert M. Price, professor Richard Dawkins, author Sam Harris and historian Richard Carrier. See the movie the Los Angeles Times calls “provocative - to put it mildly.” Hold on to your faith. It’s in for a bumpy ride.’

(With the DVD being released, I thought it might be a good time to re-release this fact sheet that I did on the book earlier this year. - Bob Pratico, Fides Quaerens Intellectum)

Dan Brown, the author, calls it “historical fiction” – meaning that while the characters and plot are fiction, “All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate.” (p. 1)

Thesis: A secret society (“Priory of Sion”) was established around 900 years ago. The “Secret” they closely guard is that Mary Magdalene was really the wife of Jesus Christ and was chosen by Jesus to lead His church. She had a child by Jesus and fled to France. The descendants of Christ lived secretly protected by Priory of Sion. The Roman Catholic Church is destroyed if this “secret” is revealed and has thus covered it up for 2000 years. The emperor Constantine manipulated early Christianity to secure & remain in power. Leonardo da Vinci was secretly a leader of Priory of Sion and passed the “secret” in various art works (e.g., “The Last Supper”). Orthodox Christianity is a lie that has been created and perpetuated by the Roman Catholic Church in order to remain in power.
