The Da Vinci Code claims that the Bible we have
today was put together for political reasons in the
4th century AD by the emperor Constantine, who
chose those books that supported his political
agenda and suppressed other gospels that
presented the “real human Jesus.”

See The Da Vinci Code, p.233

Did Constantine support
Christianity for political reasons?

Politics always played a role in Constantine’s decisions,
but the evidence suggests his conversion was authentic.
Historians and archaeologists reject this claim.

Did Constantine move Christian
worship to Sunday in honor of
the sun god?

No. Christians were worshiping on Sunday two centuries
before Constantine in commemoration of the resurrection
of Jesus.

Did Christianity adopt pagan
symbols?

Sometimes, but they instilled these symbols with Christian
meaning, thus transforming their meaning and
significance.

Did Constantine commission a
new Bible?

No. The New Testament books were revered as
authoritative Scripture long before Constantine was born.
