Seibert Professor of Ancient History at Western Michigan University, appears in four segments, airing in March and May, of the Day of Discovery television series about Dan Brown's best-selling book, "The DaVinci Code." Maier has been an outspoken critic of Brown's book. In 2004, Maier co-authored with Hank Hanegraaff "The DaVinci Code--Fact or Fiction?," which challenges the historical and theological accuracy of the "Code." Day of Discovery airs Sundays at 7:30 a.m. on the PAX Network, including WZPX, channel 43, in Grand Rapids, Mich. The first segment, "Where Did The Bible Come From?," aired this past Sunday.
