The Da Vinci Code

REVIEW
The Da Vinci Code
The best-selling novel, despite its historical inaccuracies, was at least an exciting yarn that qualified as a page-turner. But the highly anticipated movie is a yawner that takes itself far too seriously.

NEWS

Let's Othercott Da Vinci
Many Christians see The Da Vinci Code as an opportunity for evangelism; others say it's a chance to engage the culture. Rubbish. Da Vinci is dangerous, so I'd like to suggest a better alternative.

COMMENTARY

Christians have invested plenty of energy and creativity in debunking and debating The Da Vinci Code. Maybe we can also take a cue from the Code by focusing some of our efforts on telling better stories.

The Da Vinci Code Intrigue
As quickly as The Da Vinci Code—a fictional page-turner by Dan Brown—topped best-seller lists back in 2003, Pastor Ken Baugh's e-mail inbox filled with questions.

Dan Brown's Gift to the Church
Rather than ignore or boycott The Da Vinci Code, Christians now have a great opportunity to share their faith—and to sharpen their own beliefs in the process.

COMMENTARY
Down with Da Vinci!
I can't think of a better way to respond to the upcoming movie, The Da Vinci Code, than with mass boycotts, angry protests, and noisy picket lines. That is, unless I hear some better ideas…

Leader's Insight: The Da Vinci Opportunity
Tom Hanks and pastors agree: The Da Vinci Code offers prospects for sharing the truth.

REVIEW
Breaking the Da Vinci Code
A handful of books have come along to debunk Dan Brown's best-selling fictional novel (did we say fictional?). Now here comes an insightful documentary to do the same—and it does so quite well.
