Last Supper by Leonardo Da VinciDan Brown's Da Vinci Code is as true and as fictional as the Christianity's New Testament, points out Strephon in this talk about the value of truth in life. Strephon confronts the Church with its hiding the earliest Christian Documents in its Secret Archives. He praises Dan Brown for his courage to dramatize the Church's hiding the truth of who Jesus was. Strephon goes on to assert the value for each of us living from truth in our own lives. (22 minutes)Why is the Da Vinci Code so popular? Not, says Strephon, because it is a great work of fiction. It isn't. Yet it raises a great modern issue. The truth of Christianity and the Christian Church. Is the Church a cover-up of the true Jesus as a human being?Dan Brown dramatizes the issue. While it may be fiction that a secret organization of the Catholic Church kills people to keep hidden the truth about Jesus, it is true that this same Church just a few centuries ago killed over a million people in the name of protecting the Church's truth.Thus, Strephon points out the courage of Dan Brown to point to the dark side of the Christina Church. Strephon takes this courage to live the truth home to each of us. Are any of us hiding deep, dark secrets from those who relate to us and need to know? Do we ourselves live from truth and honesty in life, or from deception and making up stories?Strephon points out that Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is just as fictional and true as the Christian Church's The New Testament. Is it possible that The Christian Church is not facing the truth about its own fiction, and that the over sixty million readers of Dan Brown's book at least unconsciously know this fact?
