Special Feature: The IWJ's Da Vinci Code Links Page
Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code is a publishing phenomenon. An international
bestseller, the novel ignited a firestorm of controversy over its subject matter.
Denounced as heresy by the Catholic Church and hailed by feminists and others who
believe that Mary Magdalene was never given her due as a co-founder of Christianity, the
book was recently made into a feature film
starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tatou which has broken box office records around the world.
The book and the feature film release of The Da Vinci Code
have raised questions about the history of religion and of the
Catholic Church. The book also has made people curious about
ancient symbols and mythology and inspired people
to learn more about history and study art. In addition to all the controversy,
The Da Vinci Code is great fun: it's a thriller that holds the readers' interest,
as its protagonists jet around the world hoping to solve an ancient puzzle.
Director Ron Howard, screenwriter Akiva Goldsmith and Tom Hanks are already on
board to film another Robert Langdon adventure, Angels and Demons.
Angels and Demons is every bit as controversial as The Da Vinci Code, and
takes readers deep into the secret Vatican archives as Dr. Langdon encounters
The Illuminati and searches for the world's most powerful energy source.
Meanwhile, Dan Brown is
hard at work on his next novel, The Solomon Key.
