Dear ...,
To thank you for your continued support of The Teaching Company, we have commissioned two free, 30-minute lectures on "Fact and Fiction in The DaVinci Code" from biblical expert Professor Bart D. Ehrman of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. One of our most popular professors, Professor Ehrman (Ph.D., Princeton Theological Seminary) is a 15-year teaching veteran at UNC and winner of several teaching awards. These lectures are a free gift to you. You may access these free lectures online any time between now and Labor Day, September 6, 2004.
Click here to access the free lectures.
The DaVinci Code has remained on The New York Times bestseller list now for more than 50 weeks. Even though it is a work of fiction, it contains an ostensibly historical background involving early Christianity. But what is fact and what is fiction? Join Professor Ehrman to discuss the truth behind such topics as the formation of the Christian Bible, Jesus' relationship with Mary Magdalene, and the role of the emperor Constantine in shaping the religion of the historical Jesus.
These lectures are free. You may listen at your computer by choosing to "stream" them, or you may download them to listen on your computer without being attached to the Internet. You may also burn them to a CD or load them on a portable listening device if you download them.
Please feel free to send the link to the lectures to any friends of yours who might also enjoy them. They are free for them as well.
It is a pleasure for us to bring you the joy of lifelong learning every day in recorded lectures on DVD, audio CD, audiotape, and videotape. Dr. Ehrman is one of the more than 100 great teachers we offer on a variety of course topics. We hope you enjoy this taste of Dr. Ehrman's lecturing style.
As always, thank you for being our customer!
Tom Rollins President and CEO The Teaching Company
