review 1: I started off thinking "Everybody wants to be Robert Langdon," but the book never gets that good. The factual errors are just too much. For example, our priest has apparently never studied the gnostic heresy or even heard of the gnostic gospels. Despite all evidence that it was Pope Paul V (d. 1572), a Dominican friar, who started the tradition of the popes wearing only white (as is the Dominican habit), the pope in this novel wears white in the 800s. The apparently notion that only priests work in the current-day Vatican. They go on and on, and just get too distracting.
review 2: Interesting little mystery/action-adventure about the discovery of biblical era writings, deemed heretical by the Catholic church, erased and overwritten by monastic scholars and hidd... moreen away for safekeeping by generations of a Muslim family. They are discovered in the present day, the church wants them to stay lost, the Muslim family wants to save them from the church, and a Catholic priest wants to translate them and make the information available to the public. less
