Here is a web page for those who want to dialog about the film.
In one of the articles, Hugh Hewitt says:
The release of The Da Vinci Code provides a unique opportunity to discuss the person of Jesus Christ with many people who would otherwise never welcome the opportunity. Which is why savvy Christians welcome the hoopla around both the book and the film: It will launch a million conversations, and if you are prepared, those conversations will have a vital and long-lasting -- even eternal -- impact on their lives.I'll be checking back in as more materials are posted.
Unprepared, you can confirm the worst stereotypes about Christians as intolerant and ignorant.
I certainly hope there will be lots of dialog about the movie.
Christians believe that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of all humanity.
The Da Vinci Code says that Jesus was just another human being and had children with Mary Magdalen and that the church fabricated a fanciful story of Jesus as the Lord and Savior afterward.
Using an example from daily life, a fruit is on the table, you can call it an orange or you can call it an apple. Both can't be true. Somebody is right and somebody isn't. Though I suppose *both* could be wrong if it is a peach!
Anyway, let the discussion (hopefully vigorous but friendly and honest) begin!
Here are some additional thoughts I have about the whole Da Vinci Code phenomena.
