Dear friends,
It is my pleasure to inform you that the Orthodox Research Institute has published a new and excellent book our beloved father, H.E. Metropolitan Bishoy of Damietta, Kafr el-Sheikh, Barrary and the Monastery of Saint Demiana entitled:
The Real Holy Grail: An Orthodox Response to Dan Brown's Deceptions in Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code
I encourage you to read this excellent theological and well-researched response from an Orthodox perspective. The synopis of the book follows. The book is available from the Orthodox Research Institute at http://www.orthodoxresearchinstitute.or ... eneral.htm
The book is also available at www.Amazon.com.
Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code, by author Dan Brown, have deceived millions of people across the world with a plethora of lies about the one true God, Christianity, the Holy Bible, and the Christian Church. Dan Brown has achieved this by presenting the elements in his novels under the guise of fiction, while at the same time, claiming that they are factual. But even Brown's "facts," which he maintains are historically informed, are full of inaccuracies and historical discrepancies. What Dan Brown is describing in Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code can most certainly not be categorized as fiction, because in reality, the core and foundation of his writing is Theological and Christological. However, the Theology and Christology which Dan Brown has incorporated into his novels is a false Theology and Christology-it is grossly distorted and stridently far from the truth. This apologetic work sets out to provide the true Theological and Christological teachings of the Holy Orthodox Church in response to the deceptions in the selected writings of Dan Brown.
