商品簡介
In this accessible answer to the Gospel according to Brown, Price, a member of the Jesus Seminar, examines the facts behind (or perhaps not to be found anywhere near) The Da Vinci Code. Price starts by describing the falsifications and misconceptions associated with what Brown asserts was the role of the Priory of Sion and the Templars in his projection of the story of the Christ, and then steps through everything from the nature of the Grail, the Crucifixion, the Gnostics, the development of christology and the canon, the questions of the Magdalene, and the motivations for creating a story that exists quite outside of that of Jesus. Price's bibliography is especially helpful for settling those seemingly eternal cocktail party debates. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
