What Da Vinci Didn't Know: An LDS Perspective (Soft Cover Book) by Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, Andrew C. Skinner, and Thomas A. Wayment
Item #1-59038-608-6
Few books in recent memory have attracted the popular attention achieved by Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. Though it is a work of fiction, the book contains this provocative statement: "All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate."

Some of the "facts" put forward in The Da Vinci Code have been a concern for LDS readers. Was, for instance, Jesus married? Did Jesus intend, as the novel contends, that Mary Magdalene, instead of Peter, be the head of His church? Or has there been a long-standing conspiracy among religious leaders to portray Jesus of Nazareth as divine when he was actually a mere mortal? And what exactly does Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting The Last Supper tell us about these matters?

In What Da Vinci Didn't Know, three respected LDS scholars - Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, Andrew C. Skinner, and Thomas A. Wayment - take a hard look at the historical evidence and evaluate the controversial and often inflammatory points of view in the novel, reaching a conclusion that will be of interest to all those who have read the novel or seen the film and wished someone could separate fact from fiction.
