Bet a lot of people will be interested in the books you suggested (and that I might have enjoyed them more than The Da Vinci Code).

Always glad to have plugs for libraries, too — especially this week, because I’m going have some things to say soon about a Massachusetts library that chose Ishmael Beah’s A Long Way Gone for its summer reading program despite all the challenges to its credibility, such as the new report from Sierra Leone called the book “A Long Way From Truth.”

_about_ Brown’s (fictional) contentions. I am not and never have been Christian so all of it was new to me, and a lot would be new to anyone who has not followed the field of Bible criticism.

Two by Bart Ehrman are especially good – “Truth and Fiction in The Da Vinci Code: a historian reveals what we really know about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Constantine”, and “Misquoting Jesus: the story behind who changed the Bible and why”. Also Sharan Newman, “The Real History behind The Da Vinci Code”, a more popular version. (I got all of these and more from my public library, BTW.)
