The Da Vinci Hoax (Book On CD)
Read
by Matthew Arnold
Audiobook
The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown’s best selling novel, purports to be more
than fiction: it claims to be based on fact and scholarly research. Brown wants
his readers to believe that he is revealing the long-concealed truth about Jesus,
Mary Magdalene, and early Christianity, a truth that he says has been suppressed
by the malevolent and conspiratorial forces of the Catholic Church. The novel
alleges that there has been throughout history a secret group of true followers
of a Gnostic Jesus and his wife, Mary Magdalene, the true “Holy Grail”.
Almost everything most Christians and non-Christians think they know about Jesus,
according to Dan Brown, is completely wrong, the result of Catholic propaganda
designed to hide the truth from the world.
But are The Da Vinci Code’s claims fact or just plain fiction? Is the
novel well-researched as claimed? What is the truth about Jesus, Mary Magdalene,
and the early Church? Has the Catholic Church distorted the real Jesus? Why
is the novel so popular? What about the anti-Catholic, anti-Christian agenda
behind the novel?
Best selling author Carl Olson and journalist Sandra Miesel answer these and
other important questions. Their painstaking research into The Da Vinci Code
and its sources reveals some surprising truths. No one who has read or heard
about The Da Vinci Code should miss this provocative and illuminating new book.
“The title of this book by Carl Olson and Sandra Miesel says it all. The
authors of The Da Vinci Hoax deserve our gratitude for exposing in considerable
detail and with a sure touch the fabrications of Dan Brown’s book. Theirs
is the definitive debunking.”
--Cardinal Francis George
Archbishop of Chicago
"You'll
save yourself precious time and money, and hang on to your common sense, if
you skip The Da Vinci Code and go straight to Carl Olson's and Sandra Miesel's
wonderful The Da Vinci Hoax. Conspiracy theories are always alluring, but nothing
satisfies like the truth -- and Olson and Miesel do a superb job of defending
the Catholic faith against one of the strangest pieces of fiction of our time."
--Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.
Archbishop of Denver
"Finally!
Someone has taken the trouble to counter the absurdities of The Da Vinci Code,
and to confront all the anti-Christian and anti-Catholic rhetoric that book
has inspired. In writing their own well-informed and well-argued text, Olson
and Miesel have done a real service, not just to Christians, but to anyone weary
of contemporary fads and foolishness. And unlike the original Code, The Da Vinci
Hoax is a delight to read."
--Philip Jenkins

“In
The Da Vinci Hoax, Carl Olson and Sandra Miesel bring their considerable analytical
powers to bear on the phenomenally successful novel by Dan Brown. The Da Vinci
Code is a writhing nest of neo-Gnostic myths, blatant falsehoods, half-truths
and absurd suppositions presented as facts--indeed, it is one of the most odious
cases of revisionist history that have appeared during the past two centuries.
Olson and Miesel dissect it carefully--break the code of the Code, as it were--revealing
not only Brown’s distortions of history but the underlying malice in his
‘fictional’ attack on Christianity. The Da Vinci Hoax is more than
a refutation of a single book; it is an antidote to a poisonous genre that is
growing in contemporary writing. This is a fascinating read and very good medicine!”
--Michael O’Brien

“I’ve
painfully watched some usually-sensible university students fall victim to The
Da Vinci Code disease. I’ll enjoy having this clearly-written antidote
to prescribe.”
--Marvin Olasky
Professor, The University of Texas at Austin
Editor-in-chief, World Magazine
“Olsen
and Miesel have done a superb and meticulous job of dissecting the fraud which
is The Da Vinci Code. Not only Christians, but all fair –minded people
owe them a debt of gratitude.”
--James Hitchcock
