The Da Vinci Code - Christian Responses
There has been a lot of discussion of The Da Vinci Code around work here at YWAM - Reef to Outback. A few of the guys went to see the movie last week and they were not too impressed, especially given the build up to it. Most of the comments from them that I heard had more to do with the quality of movie, rather than the Christ references in it.
The Christian community seems to have really taken a lot of interest in this movie. There has been a lot of debate about the movie and one theatre here in Australia even went so far as to ban the movie because the owner felt it went against his beliefs. I have unfortunately not read the book yet, and I don't think that I will be seeing it in the theatre either (I don't really get to watch movies in the theatre any more).
In the Christian community there seem to be two different camps in their response to the movie. One is all about boycotting it and the other is wanting to engage in the conversation and buzz that it is generating. There are of course Christians in the middle of the debate, but those are the two opposing view points.
One of the best post on the debate is LivingRoom A space for Life: The Da Vinci Code - A Christian Response. I am very much in the category of engaging in the debate, although I am not up to scratch on it at all since like I said before, I haven't seen the movie or read the book. The above article reflects that point of view.
Below are a few other opinions on how Christians should respond to The Da Vinci Code. I think the express both sides of the debate:
- coupers.org: Da Vinci Code ... is the fuss necessary?
- Think Christian: Da Vinci Code: beyond the debunking
- Think Christian: Defeating Da Vinci
- Think Christian: Brian McLaren on the Da Vinci Code
