How likely are the ideas of Dan Brown in the Da Vinci Code?
Dan Brown wrote on a few very interesting ideas in The Da Vinci Code, what I want to know is if any of it could actually be the truth - The Holy Grail being in fact Mary Magdalene, The priory of Sion and the Nights Templar, Jesus' blood line.... I have read 'Truth and Fiction in the Da Vinci Code' by Bart. D. Ehrman but would like more clarification on the subject.

Dan Brown is right that there are things being hidden from the church goer, but it runs a lot deeper than just his relationship with Mary Magdalene. http://gospelenigma.com will give you a much better understanding of what was going on 2000 years ago. It's an excellent fun read and it's free!

Dan Brown scratched the surface of some very interesting ideas that have been floating around for thousands of years. Unfortunately, he just scratched the surface and was content to take a great premise and wedge it into a contrived and boring plot. There are numerous nonfiction books that discuss various grail interpretations (a cup and Mary aren't the only theories) and detailed accounts on the history of the Knights Templar. I'd suggest going to amazon.com and searching them by subject.
