That does make it harder, yes. But it isn't impossible. There are contextual clues and cultural expressions that are found throughout the New...
The book is a compelling work of fiction. Brown did do some research, but he does have some pretty severe innacuracies. I have not looked into...
We can agree to disagree. I didn't say that mine was right. But the AUTHOR'S interpretation of his own work is ALWAYS right. Think of it this...
Huh? If you claim to be something and I say that you are wrong, I am imply that you are either a liar (if you know that you are wrong) or crazy...
