Redeeming The Da Vinci Code: Decoding the Truth (DVD, approx. 60 minutes)

Decoding the Truth explores the primary questions about Christianity raised by the conspiracy theory espoused by the novel/movie.

It features interviews with Darrell Bock, Ph.D., Professor of New Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary and author of the book, Breaking The Da Vinci Code, and John Hannah, Ph.D., Professor of Historical Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. This DVD focuses on five major assertions raised by the characters in Dan Brown's novel:

1. There are recently rediscovered "secret gospels" which portray a more accurate picture of Jesus' life and ministry than the New Testament Gospels.
2. The New Testament Gospels are not historically reliable.
3. Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married.
4. Early Christians believed that Jesus was just a prophet and teacher.
5. Goddess worship was a part of early Christianity before being suppressed by Constantine.
