Da Vinci Code Movie Concerns

without comments

Christians are concerned with the upcoming movie The Da Vinci Code. So much in fact, they asked Ron Howard to put a disclaimer on the movie that says the story is fictional. I think the book has stirred up conversation and that’s exactly what it should do.

Like the novel, Mr. Calley said, the movie can be a tool for discussing the origins of religion, even challenging its basic assumptions, which he said is a good thing. “In our society, most societies, we grow up with our religion given to us by our parents,” he said. “We’re never truly oriented into the history of it, the subtlety of it. The amazing thing about this book is it’s provocative: Is it all true? Isn’t it true? As a history book it’s extraordinary. As an exploration of the evolution of a particular religion, it’s extraordinary.”
