I was referring to the Bible as a whole, and the fact (from various readings of mine) that some of the Bible is the result of an oral tradition. If you would care to point me in the direction of books that discuss this part of Biblical history, I'd be happy to check them out (i.e. a library or decent online sources).

I also believe canonization involves someone after the fact investigating scriptures and saints and the like. Again, if I'm mistaken, please show me some texts/links.

I never brought up the DaVinci Code, and I've never read it nor know much of anything about it. Publications like BAR (Biblical Archaeology Review) that were given to me in the mid-90's by a friend became intensely fascinating in a subject I knew nothing about. The questions raised within those publications still loom large over the entire issue of the Dead Sea Scrolls, as very few scholars outside of the Vatican's influence/control have ever been allowed to look at them. Over 90% of the original DSS still remain unavailable to the public.
