The document discusses and analyzes claims made in The Da Vinci Code about ancient documents known as the Nag Hammadi texts. It summarizes that the Nag Hammadi texts were discovered in Egypt in 1945 and contained gospels, acts, letters and revelations. However, it notes that analysis shows the Nag Hammadi texts were written later than the books of the New Testament and promote Gnostic beliefs rather than being reliable historical sources about Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The document concludes that the non-canonical Gnostic gospels cited in The Da Vinci Code do not meet the criteria for canonicity and do not provide legitimate support for the novel's theories.
