Bracing for the Da Vinci Code movie

To avoid going a whole month without posting I thought I would note some things I've come across concerning the up coming movie, "The Da Vinci Code"

First off the Barna Group is making available The Book of Acts DVD from The Watchword Bible for bulk sale, with the hope of showing the true history of the early church. Also Barnaflims has a video online called "The Conspiracy Game" that addresses issues raised in The Da Vinci Code.

Christianity Today magazine has an article online, 5 Big Questions from The Da Vinci Code which comes in a PDF format that can be printed out and passed around at the theater.

While there are dozens of books debunking the Da Vinci Code book/movie, RBC has prepared a handy little booklet entitled "The Da Vinci Code: Separating fact from fiction" which can be downloaded as a PDF file here.

If you are not up for reading a book or booklet Christian Book Summaries has an Online summary of "Cracking DaVinci's Code" by James L. Garlow & Peter Jones or a PDF version can be downloaded here.

Also, there is the 60 minutes story on the Priory of Sion (print version)

Although I haven't searched out much discussion online about this, one the better post I've found on this topic is from Scot McKnight's blog Jesus Creed. Here he asks the question - why do people want to believe this story in the first place?
