Summary: More nooks and crannies than your Granny's attic!!
Comment: I am a lapsed Catholic, and remember reading The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail about 20 years ago. It fascinated me, and answered a lot of the doubt that had arisen with me and my faith. Then as time progresed, I forgot about it until "The Da Vinci Code" came along, and I went back through the same process.

Then I saw "Da Vinci Code Decoded" advertised, and grabbed it. The Da Vinci Code goes here, there and everywhere without much explanation. But "Da Vinci Code DECODED" fills in the gaps, AND ADDS A WHOLE LOT MORE! How else would I have been presented with pretty convincing proof that the REAL British family is alive and well in .... Australia??

This book is a gem, and its small size and price adds to this definition. Also the pictures add a whole new dimension to the book. If you truly want to know one of the directions the western world is going in, read this, and you will be well-prepared!

Summary: Interesting.
Comment: I love how the book has sparked such debate. On one hand we have die-hard Christians and on another we have those who doubt Christianity.

And then we have people who yell at his book for being "biased," yet clearly reveal their own.

If that's your idea of proof, I guess in trials the burden should be on the suspect? So instead of making the prosecutor prove his case, the accused should stand before a jury and try to convince them he's NOT guilty?

That logic is in line with that of the Inquisition. Lets just burn everyone if they can't prove that something didn't happen!

Your "evidence" of some atheists turning Christian is hardly compelling. For every one that converted, there's one that researched it and didn't change his mind. Do you want a list of well-known atheist researchers who mainted their positions?

And to criticize atheists because there are LESS is truly pathetic. Christianity makes it clear that parents are to teach their children the ways of God. Children usually develop their religious belief system from their parents. So you're going to tell me that the large number of Christians means there are less atheists because there was no proof of Christianity being false? You're really sad, then. It has more to do with families raising their ilk to believe as they do. I'd really like to see the religious percentages if all parents simply said "research the religions and choose with your heart." I bet it'd be a lot different than it is now.

Stop criticizing a book on YOUR own bias. You are not objective and are thus not any more fit to critique this book than those you claim are "biased." Hypocrisy runs ramapant in the minds of some Christians.

I think that the Bible contains flaws and injustices, maybe even more than most religious books, but the real injustice is the people who read it and spend their life terrorizing others because of it. I'm not fond of the Bible, but I feel sorry for it, because a book alone does not create injustice. What creates injustice is those who read it and live their life based on it, and only it. Christianity is not inherently malicious.. it's those who distort it that create the malice. I am an agnostic who has not yet decided on the existence of any God, and perhaps never will.

But one thing that IS clear to me is that neither a Christian, nor someone who had deep hatred for Christianity (sorry, your average atheist does not harbor such hatred) has any objectivity in this matter.

This book, like any other, expresses a viewpoint. It expresses a viewpoint as Mr. "I'm not biased but this book is evil" does. I recommend everyone check to see how he rated the OTHER Da Vinci Code analyses. Bet you anything he rated the pro-Christian ones higher.

Summary: A Refreshing Antidote to the Da Vinci Code Hype
Comment: A refreshing antidote to the Da Vinci Code craze which seems to have taken the book world hostage. The author takes care to clarify much of the distortion found in Brown's book without personally attacking him-which I found to be most admirable. If you are a Da Vinci Code fan, I suggest supplementing your bloodline awareness by checking this fine bit of decoding work.
More importantly be open to dialoguing on the intriguing and controversial Da Vinci himself without trying to kill his mystery with expanation and definition.

Also check out Dagobert's Revenge website for more info. on bloodlines, the grail cup, etc. etc. and a review on both the Da Vinci Code and Da Vinci Code Decoded
