History and God's story
The DaVinci Code has told 40 million readers that early Christians knew Jesus to be a man and not God. The novel claims that the divinity of Jesus was invented by Constantine three centuries after Christ. If the novel is right, Christianity today is wrong. What does the evidence show?
Pliny the Younger was an ancient Roman administrator. Two volumes of his letters still exist today. One of his letters, written around AD 112, contains the earliest non-biblical description of Christian worship: "They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ as to a god." Note that they worshiped Christ as God, not a religious teacher. And they did so in AD 112, not two centuries later during the time of Constantine.
