Well constructed fiction with a small element of truth.
Obviously, some of the things in the book are factual (we know, for example, that Opus Dei exists). Also obviously, it is a fictional story written by a guy with a good imagination (since Opus Dei is so secretive, it's easy to imagine things about their workings!).
And as I read thru these answers, I feel the need to clarify...The author said on page one of the book, that it's all fiction. He has no need to "support his claims", since he claimed that they're all fiction! Anyone who took any part of this book as truth is just tragically stupid.

Fiction.
But the apocrypha are not. And the books are no less reputable than the ones that the council let into the finished bible.
But the council did not let them in because it put jesus as more of a man than a god, which didn't fit in with the churches ideas of a triune deity.
Read the "infancy gospel of Thomas", it's great. Makes Dennis the Menace seem like a pussycat compared to wee jesus.

Lots of it is actually based on true fact, like the council of Nicea it actually took place and it is in fact the time where the concept of trinity was firstly introduced as well as the dominace of the groups that believed Jesus was Divine ! This is amazing fact and not wonder the Church is upset about it as it shakes the very foundations of the Christian faith ! Obviously the Church don't want it's believers to look back at its bloody past, the dark ages caused by their restrictions of the truth and the altering of Jesus's initial message and teachings.

As reported with the aid of many of the others, Brown's e book became right into a artwork of fiction sprinkled with data. that's what makes it a sturdy examine. there is not any historic data to assist the declare that Christ had a newborn. the main compelling data (in accordance to Brown) of Mary's relationship to Christ is DaVinci's final Supper. the guy to Jesus' good is a youthful John. artwork historians have early sketches that DaVinci did of the portray wherein he categorized the figures and exhibits the guy to Jesus' good as John. i think of Brown is giggling all the thank you to the financial company. specific, i'm a splash jealous!

It was a load of tripe, based on a load of tripe.
And poorly written at that.
I've read pulp sci-fi paperbacks with better writing and scope.

well...the film showed just how badly written the book was> It is all fiction and the authors has no accurate historical evidence to support his claims> The only truth about the book is that the Louvre is in france and london is in England>

it does have elements of truth
i have read it and seen the book but many of the things it featured i did know of before hand
do your own study on it , make your own mind up
but its a clever piece of writing mixing fact with fiction in order to cause some controversy .. which it succeeded in doing

Its fiction. No one should take a fiction book seriously.
