Overview

Dan Brown’s thriller sold more than 40 million copies before Ron Howard introduced the movie adaptation. Howard sticks closely to the familiar story of Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu’s efforts to solve a murder mystery while evading the police and a Roman Catholic mercenary bent on eliminating them. Howard also maintains a full measure of Brown’s controversial claims about secrets that could undermine the Christian faith.

This study will help you discuss the themes that have led many to question what we really know about Jesus, the Bible, and the early days of Christianity. Can an important end sometimes justify dubious means? What difference does history make? And finally, does truth matter?
