The Second Coming of Da Vinci: Real Lost Symbols of the Bible [Paperback]

Book Description

Publication Date: March 16, 2010

"YOU ARE GOING TO BURN IN HELL FOREVER!" Quite an opening line for a work of fiction - and, as it turns out - you can expect a good read from there on out (with an ending you won't see coming). The story surrounds a Hindu boy who converts to Christianity - out of a deep desire to save himself from a hell very real to him. As a grown man, he stumbles into an incident which not only embroils him in disillusionment towards his faith but creates deep conflict. Making matters worse, this same conflict causes the young Christian convert to stand on the very edge of an abyss that threatens to engulf him: that of losing his faith in Christ - and God Himself... Backtrack to 2003. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code sparked a stirring intellectual debate surrounding the historical facts of the Church and Jesus Christ. Just as significant, were the gamut of emotions felt by many a faithful follower. But this new element has entered the scene. The Second Coming of Da Vinci: Real Lost Symbols of the Bible presents an equally riveting fiction work: one that provokes profound thought within the highly personalized context and experiences of a single individual. This is an ideas-driven, richly textured novel, weaving in and out of Eastern and Western philosophies, connecting the facts revealed for both. A powerfully moral book, it concerns itself with the choices one makes in life. While the casual reader enjoys the fictional nature of the work, conversely the serious reader appreciates the simplicity with which the facets of deep spirituality are made. Without going into deep theological comparisons, The Second Coming of Da Vinci comes to the aid of those who desire to delve deep in the subject of religiosity. The Second Coming of Da Vinci answers the human inquiry surrounding God and religion - decoding the truly lost symbols. And in so doing, invites one and all to open their hearts to love and in turn, to living itself.

This review is from: The Second Coming of Da Vinci: Real Lost Symbols of the Bible (Paperback)

The book took complex theological concepts from Bible and tried to answer them through a fictional story. The author has attempted to have fictional character live the message of Bible in their life and through their life tried to show the universal message of love, service and yes, tradition.

It also tries to explain if we are born seller then how can we children of God? Can people who do not know about Jesus get to heaven? The book is a easy read for a very complex subject.
