The Truth About Jesus
Peace!
Before you read this, please take a moment to answer our 8-question
survey if you haven’t already—click

I may be the last person you know who hasn’t read The
Da Vinci Code. I suspect I will have to, given the hype over the upcoming film adaptation.
Here at American Catholic Radio (ACR) we’ve been focusing on Jesus
in order to give our listeners some of the basic Catholic doctrine about Our Lord. Theologian
and author Dr. Phyllis Zagano helped us analyze the portrait of Jesus in The Da Vinci
Code and sorts out fact from fiction. It’s part of our effort at ACR to
help our listeners discover where they can go to get the truth about Jesus. We believe
the real Jesus is much more compelling than any work of fiction can depict him.
May your radio ministry help to make him known!
