Theology Fiction:-

• Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is the best-known work of theology fiction. Theology fiction can appear either in the from of a novel or as pseudo-academic work. Both involve revelation that are designed to startle rather than enlighten, such as the existence of cover-up by Church authorities of the real truth about Jesus, his mother Mary and the early development of the Christian community. Or one can be told of ominous messages concealed within the text of the Hebrew Bible. Elements of science fiction are sometimes Louis Hughes is a Dominican priest.

The Sacred Secret:-

The Real Mystery in The Da Vinci Code:-

• When we consider that as a rounded container a chalice is a feminine symbol, the idea of a vessel filled with blood becomes an image-metaphor for a woman's womb, and the Grail then takes on the possibility of another meaning that of a numinous or mysterious feminine symbol, something transformative and healing, with a sacred or divine dimension of the feminine. Was its amazing popularity due to "the sacred secret", the feminine principle which has been missing and ignored in world consciousness for well over five thousand years by a patriarchal Culture in which male political power and the masculine principle have dominated? Tracing this "secret" leads to a search that includes a history that precedes writing, only recorded by archeologists in artifacts as the Neolithic goddess traditiona.

"The Da Vinci code". Dan Brown and The Grail That Never was:-

• Dan Brown's bestseller, The Da Vinci Code, has errors and raised objections to his dubious conjectures. Of particular interest to Arthurians is Brown's conspiracy theory (appropriate from other sources) concerning the Grail, but a discussion of that subject also requires consideration of his presentation of Church History and of the role that art plays in the elaboration of the Grail theory.

Symbolisms in Dan Brown's the Da Vinci Code:-

• The paper focuses on the symbolism, muth and motifs of Dan Brown The Da Vinci Code. Brown has a fascination with a paradoxical interplay between Science and Religion. His novels had a leading character which includes historical themes and Christianity as motifs which ends in controversy. 

• The da Vinci Code, endeavoring to discover the homicide of the Louvers custodian, Langdon experiences puzzling associations, Opus Dei and Priory of Sion, which talks about the concealed messages in Leonardo da Vinci's specialty, raises the plot into top by discovering Jesus Wedded Marry Magdalene and Fathereda youngster, and by finding the Holy Grail. 

• Darker's The Da Vinci Code was depicted as submitting style and word decision bumbles in relatively every passage. A significant part of the feedback was focused on Brown's case found in it's prelude that the novel depends on actuality in connection to Opus Dei and the Priory of Sino and that all depictions of fine arts, engineering, record and mystery ceremonies in a novel are precise.

The Black Book of Religion:- 

• Seldom has a death proved as exaggerated as that alleged in 1886 by the German sage Friedrich Nietzsche. "The greatest event of recent times", he memorable avowed, " that God is Dead, that the belief in the Christian God is no longer tenable is beginning to cast it's first shadows over Europe." One need only skim any day's news to confirm that the Almighty eluded Nietzche's grave, and that religion universally flourishes.

• Seen positively, this resurgence has welcome implication. It suggests that the World's poorest and humblest find solace in transcendent logings, and that there is a global hunger for something beyond sating the senses. Yet alas, that hunger has been meanly exploited by God's Presumed agents, the worst of whom condone, encourage, or even sanctify sectarian slaughter. So struck was this agnostic by the praradox of the godly sanctioning the ungodly that in our spring 2005 coda we offered a companion to The Black Book of Communism.

• The French edited survey of crimes perpetrated in the name of Marx, reproduced in English in 2001 by Harvard University Press. A second section of our own Black Book appeared in fall 2005, and here follows a third inspired by the most prophetic of modern political poems, "The Second Coming", in which William Butler Years asks, "And what rough beast, it's hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?."

An Historian's view of the Gospel of Judas:-

• what is the Gospel of Judas? The Gospel of Judas is the most remarkable of four ancient texts bound together in antiquity and discovered in the late 1970s in Egypt. Having been stowed away in a Swiss bank vault for decades, they were only recently rediscovered and subjected to critical study.

• People have marveled at the existence of the Judas Gospel, forit presents Judas Iscariot not only as Jesus's betrayer but as his enlightened, favored disciple.

• This is Gospel of Judas is written in the language of Coptic, that is, a late form of Egyptian using Greek letters but it seems to have been originally composed in Greek. In fact, a church father of The second century CE, Irenaeus of Lyous, meantions a Gospel of Judas that was read by his theological opponents. So Historian's believe the Gospel of Judas goes back to the second century, even though the version just discovered is a tourth or fifth century copy.

• By contrast the canonical gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke-Acts, and John come from the late- first and early-second centuries. It is unlikely that the Gospel of Judas contains a separate or more authentic picture of Judas than the canonical story. The text itself is quite brief, opening on Jesus among hid disciples. Jesus enrages the disciples by criticizing their piety but then takes Judas Iscariot aside as favored disciple.
