Summary: Not bad, but...
Comment: Hanegraaff is the "Bible Answer Man", the evangelical version of the Pope for some people.
As a result, he will never point out what Kellmeyer points out in "Fact and Fiction in the Da Vinci Code" - Dan Brown's book is simply a twist on a story that many fundamentalist Christians have been promulgating for years: the idea that the Catholic Church and Constantine suppressed "true Christianity."
All Dan Brown did was substitute the contents of what was being suppressed - fundamentalists claim Catholics suppressed THEIR church, Brown claims Catholics suppressed goddess worship. Other than that, the two are identical and identically absurd.
Kellmeyer's book goes into a lot of details like this that Hanegraaff simply doesn't. All in all, Kellmeyer's "Fact and Fiction" is a better investment.

Summary: Accomplishes What It Sets Out To Do
Comment: This book is rather a small booklet rebutting the spurious and silly story line presented in Brown's popular bestseller, "The DaVinci Code." The others state why the book, that rebutts a fictional writings, is so imporatnt and they quickly make their case. I for one, have ran into several people asserting this book as a novel based on fact.
This pamphlet works because it is small, concise, and inexpensive. I have been hard on Hanegraaff in the past for small books that are nothing more than religious tracks, but this time, the price is right and it accomplsihes what it sets out to do. There is so much to refute in Brown's book, but it does not take a lot to do it. Actually, absurdity normally does not take much.
Maier opens the track up with "The Da Vinci Deception." He concisely and effectively refutes the book and shows it as the fiction it is. Hanegraaff's "What is Truth" section is equaly imporatnt and here, serves its purpose. There are however, two weaknesses: (1) Maier could have spend a little more time in his section, in particular on the Council of Nicea and the Apostolic Fathers (although he does a good and quick job in assaulting the silliness of Brown's book). (2)I don't understand why a simple book to write took so long to be published? After all, I have effectively dismantled Brown's book in discussions with serval friends and could have written this same track in a coupel of days. With CRI's resources, I think they should ahve been on the cutting edge and got this book out months ago.
Small booklet, but very effective.
