Cracking the Da Vinci Code. The unauthorized guide to the facts behind dan Brown’s best selling novel. Simon Cox. 2004. ISBN 1402718373. I confess to having read two of Dan Brown‘s books , and even saw the Ron Howard’s and Tom Hanks movie. I claim to be a Christian and yet Brown’s writing and ideas are just so contrary to a faith based world view. This little book is quite useful for someone like me. With an alphabetical marching of topics in page after page, Cox reveals the sources for the facts and the fiction (mostly fiction) behind Brown’s fictions. Since I first found out that Geoffrey Moore did not invent the the idea of “eartly adopters” , I have been a believer that ideas get recycled from story teller to story teller. Cox does us a favor by laying out just where many of the ideas came from and often from whom. If you have read the “book” then this book is quite helpful to you. I was interested in the links between DaVinci, Isaac Newton and others Cox found.
