While Brown pointed out some realities concerning the politics of how books in the modern Bible were accepted it is very important to remember that this was a novel. There can be little reasonable doubt that Mary Magdelene was a key figure (read Luke) in Christ's ministry. However the work and membership in the Priory of Scion is historically murkey as his explanation of Opus Dei.
Look at the links below for more info on the Cathars. This was a group that emphasized the sacred feminine and carried a tradition of being the guardian of "a geat relic". they were almost entirely destroyed by the one crusade which took place in France.

They are real only in the sense that there were gospels that were excluded from the Biblical canon when it was determined in 325 AD. Also, that by those excluded books (gnostic gospels) Mary Magdalen played a much greater role as a disciple. Many however, believe those books were heretical, the decision as what is true and what is not is rather subjective to me. The gospels that did make it in have plenty of issues as well depending on what scholarship you subscribe to. The theory that they had a relationship and a child is pretty flimsy.

maximum of it grew to become into fiction. Many web pages have printed articles discrediting "The Da Vinci Code". Granted, there is a few historic evidence, yet in maximum cases, the techniques is loosely jointly. case in point, "The Da Vinci Code" makes the declare that the Catholic Church invented the perception in Jesus as God in the process the Council of Nicaea in 325. this is fake. What the Council did grew to become into verify Jesus as God - a perception already held via maximum Christians of the time. in case you are able to, watch a tutor this is on the historic previous Channel each so often, called "previous The Da Vinci Code". It debunks lots of the claims made via Dan Brown in his e book.

I have this theory that someone, lets call him "The Author," had an inspiration to write a story based on pseudo-Christian mythology. I can't prove it, however, and I'm concerned in case anyone thinks my idea is too far-fetched.

Heres one, its fiction.
If you want to read a book with real theories in it, check out "Holy Blood, Holy Grail." It was a non-fiction book, with the same kind of ideas the DaVinci Code promoted.

Fiction.
The "research" it's based on (including, and especially, Holy Blood, Holy Grail)? Fiction.
It'd be interesting if it were true; of course, first one has to prove that Jesus existed, and that Mary Magdelene existed, which are very difficult to do.
