Lesson Overview

Is the Bible the Word of God or a collection of manuscripts orchestrated by a fourth-century Roman emperor to ensure his own political survival? Many are wondering whether they’ve been told the truth about the Bible after reading the bestselling novel known around the world, The Da Vinci Code. Could the historical backdrop of a page-turning murder mystery and conspiracy theory be right? Is the Bible little more than the product of power-hungry religious leaders in collusion with a clever politician named Constantine? To answer that question, this lesson will begin our exploration of the Bible’s origins.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to:

  • Identify key characteristics of good historical fiction writing.
  • Explain the role of Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicea.
  • Answer The Da Vinci Code allegation that the Bible has been altered repeatedly over the years.
  • Articulate the doctrine of divine inspiration based on key Bible texts.
  • Answer key questions based on reading The Da Vinci Code— Separating Fact From Fiction.

Personal Reflection

The Da Vinci Code alleges that the Bible we have today has been radically modified many times through 2,000 years of copying and editing. What is your current belief about the origin of the Bible? On what do you base your view?
