¥In fact, The Da Vinci Code uses just such details from the Gospels
of Philip and Mary as the writer thinks his
target audience might accept, and ignores those

texts are unbelievable.
¥It looks with suspicion
on the orthodox Gospels, and with
gullibility on the un-orthodox ones.
¥I would not trust The Da Vinci Code for reliable information about early
Christianity.
