'FACT: All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals in this novel are accurate.' - Dan Brown, introduction to The Da Vinci Code

There are many claims found within the pages of Dan Brown's bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code, but the above claim is easily the most controversial — because it just isn't true. Even leaving the speculative theories aside, many 'descriptions' of art, documents and rituals are demonstrably inaccurate. The 'FACT' statement therefore creates a false sense of trust in what the novel's authoritative characters have to say about history, art and religion.

Our Factual Guide to The Da Vinci Code is a resource for exploring many of the fascinating topics raised in The Da Vinci Code novel and film. We hope it will be useful both to those who might be troubled or influenced by the novel's dramatic religious claims as well as those who simply say, 'Wow, really?' when coming across an intriguing statement. This Da Vinci Code guide does not seek to defend traditional Christian beliefs, insult Dan Brown and his book, nor give undue credence to exciting theories. We simply provide the facts, evidence and resources to those who are interested, so you can draw your own informed conclusions. It's fascinating stuff — enjoy your exploration!

Facts, Errors: So What?

Since its publication, there have been many responses that sort out fact from fiction, from various perspectives, in The Da Vinci Code. Plenty of people are exasperated by all this fuss and repeat, 'It's fiction!!' until blue in the face. But everyone knows it's fiction — no one actually believes the curator of the Louvre was really murdered by an albino. It's the fiction's factual framework that is so intriguing and so controversial.

Still, there are plenty of historical novels and films that include factual errors or fictions - why do people care so much about evaluating the claims in The Da Vinci Code? Here's why:

Because of the extraordinary popularity of The Da Vinci Code. Millions of people have read this novel, which means it will have a much great impact than most books (or movies).
Because of Dan Brown's deliberate presentation of the novel as a fictional narrative based in historical fact — through the 'Fact:' statement quoted above, his citation of non-fiction sources and his interviews that indicate his own belief in the novel's factual claims. Dan Brown said, 'One of the aspects that I try very hard to incorporate in my books is that of learning. When you finish the book—like it or not—you've learned a ton. I had to do an enormous amount of research. My wife is an art historian and a Da Vinci fanatic. So I had a leg up on a lot of this, but it involved numerous trips to Europe, study at the Louvre, some in-depth study about the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei and about the art of Da Vinci.' (source)
Because of the undeniable 'interestingness' of factual claims made throughout the novel. The majority of the novel's millions of readers are fascinated by some of the things mentioned (Leonardo, symbols, Tarot cards, the historical Jesus, the Louvre pyramid..) and want to learn more once they have finished the book.

Why We're Bothering to Provide 'the Facts'

It is ReligionFacts' policy to keep our own opinions to ourselves, but we'll make an exception here for some brief value statements. First, critical thinking is really important. The ability to consider a claim critically, evaluate sources and understand motives and context is crucial for many things in today's world: such as not being taken in by a scam, not being convinced by the propaganda of a dangerous group, and not basing one's historical or religious beliefs on a popular novel.

As a website based on the importance of 'facts' as a foundation for religious inquiry, understanding and discussion, we find it a bit distressing to realize that many readers have changed their religious beliefs based solely on a novel. Not because change is bad, but because the lack of critical thinking that led to such a change is bad.

Second, and more positively, we think it is a good thing that an entertaining novel has sparked readers' interests in investigating such topics as the Council of Nicea, the role of Constantine in Christian history, the pagan roots of Christianity, the Dead Sea Scrolls, religious symbols, the Knights Templar, how the Bible was formed, etc. In many cases, the truth is as intriguing as the fiction! We wouldn't dedicate a whole website to the study of religion if we didn't think it was interesting.

So The Da Vinci Code can be an entertaining starting point to learn something new. Even readers unaffected by the book's religious claims are likely to be intrigued by topics mentioned in the book and would like to learn more (e.g., are there really 666 panes in the Louvre Pyramid?).

Our 'response' to The Da Vinci Code is based on the above perspectives. We hope to provide useful information both to those who may be re-considering their religious beliefs (without attempting to steer them in any particular direction) and to those who are more casually intrigued and want to know more.

What Others Say about Evaluating The Da Vinci Code

Bart Ehrman, a professor of early Christian history at the University of North Carolina, was asked by Oxford University Press to write a response to the novel from a scholar's perspective. This he did in Truth and Fiction in The Da Vinci Code. 1200 mics acid for nothing. Following are excerpts from this book about why he bothered writing a response to a fictional novel. (Italics are his.)

I knew that the book itself was fictional, of course, but as I read it (and for me, as for many others, it was a real page-turner) I realized that Dan Brown's characters were actually making historical claims about Jesus, Mary and the Gospels. In other words, the fiction was being built on a historical foundation that the reader was to accept as factual, not fictitious. But like many historians who have spent their lives studying the ancient sources for Jesus and early Christianity, I immediately began to see problems with the historical claims made in the book. There were numerous mistakes, some of them howlers, whhich were not only obvious to the expert but also unnecessary to the plot. If the author had simply done a little bit more research, he would have been able to present the historical backdrop of his account accurately, without in any way compromisng the story he had to tell. Why didn't he simply get his facts straight? (p. xii-xiii)
