DVC is just a novel

Why would RBC Ministries give so much attention to a fictitious novel?

Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code, weaves fact with fiction in an intriguing tale of conspiracy, deception, and greed. But the message in his novel is not so subtle. He clearly asserts that the biblical record about Jesus is fraudulent, that Jesus wasn't divine, that He was married with children, and that the goal of the male-dominated Christian church has been to oppress women and suppress the truth about God.

For that reason we believe The Da Vinci Code requires a response from our ministry that honestly equips truth-seekers to clearly discern truth from error in this novel that clearly undermines the biblical story of Jesus. Our desire is to teach the Bible faithfully, present Christ clearly, expose falsehood honestly, and invite our audience to consider the biblical message of Jesus of Nazareth.
