Why is “The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown so controversial?
It claims to have a historical basis yet was written as fiction, many would say because that’s the only way the theory could be published. Any time you have a full-out attack on another person’s beliefs, especially with faulty evidence on Scriptures heavily backed by archeology, manuscript evidence, and internal/external proofs, you’re going to get controversy. Brown, at the beginning of his book, claims “all descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate.” However, there are many faulty mistakes made, some outright stupid, within the book.
