From the Inside Flap

Why has one book an acknowledged work of fiction caused an international uproar?

The mystery sensation The Da Vinci Code has been aggressively dismissed by historians; minutely dissected by scholars of art and religion; and loudly, roundly, and forcefully rejected by the Catholic Church and its most devoted adherents. At the same time, it has sold well over 36 million copies and been translated into 44 languages, and will soon appear as a major motion picture.

An undeniable part of the attraction is the intricate layering of mysteries, not simply within Dan Brown s bestseller, but throughout the over 2,000 year-old debates about the figure of Jesus, the church that bears His name, and the esoteric streams of thought that permeate both. The fictional murder of a Louvre curator may be an engaging puzzle, but it pales in comparison to the ancient mystery of the Holy Grail. More importantly, the implications of complex secrets and conspiracies in a whodunit book couldn t possibly have any real weight unless they refer to an actual secret history with radical implications for one of the world s most important and influential institutions.

The Keys to the Da Vinci Code: The Secret Lineage of Jesus and Other Mysteries already a bestseller in Europe delves into the cauldron of speculation and legend to offer the reader the tools necessary to make one s own decisions about who Jesus actually was, what the Church actually believes about Him, and what the truth of the Holy Grail may truly be. Its pages unravel the tangled strands of history woven through Christianity: the true nature of Jesus relationship with the Magdalene; the story of the Knights Templar and their sacred and secret duty; the shadowy Priory of Sion and their link to a cache of ancient manuscripts discovered in a Pyrenees church consecrated to the Magdalene 1500 years earlier.

The Keys to the Da Vinci Code is a thrilling journey through history that allows us to better appreciate one of the most important and passion-laden debates of our time. It is an indispensable tool for understanding the truths behind the Da Vinci Code novel and blockbuster motion picture. It is also a book that has the potential to force readers to re-define some of their most fundamental beliefs.
