Sigmeo Sigmeo sigmeo — Ehrman has outdone himself again. This is a great little book for people who are actually interested in the historical questions that The Da Vinci Code claims to answer: Who wrote the New Testament? Who decided whether Jesus was a human or a god? Was he married? What did Jesus actually teach? Who was Mary Magdalene, and what was her relationship with Jesus? and what were the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi library, and the gnostic gospels? One puzzling thing at the beginning of the Da Vinci code, on the first page or on one of the cover pages, is Dan Brown's claim that all of the descriptions of the ancient documents in the book are true. In light of what Ehrman and other historians of early Christianity actually know, the only way to make sense of Brown's claim (other than to assume his research consisted of skimming a single book and copying it's ideas wholesale - ie ignorance) is to read this page as part of the fiction of the Da Vinci Code. As if the fictional author, who lives in a fictional parallel world where all of his claims are true, were writing it, because from Dan Brown that statement is a lie. The real historical knowledge about these questions is in some ways just as subversive and interesting as the more fanciful daydreams presented in the Da Vinci Code. The only reason authors like Brown can spin such a tale about early Christianity and get away with it, is that people, even devout Christians (especially devout Christians) have the real information hidden from them by omission. Read this book; Ehrman presents his material with clarity and authority.
