What is the D'Vinci Code? The phenomena surrounding the book and movie is interesting to say the least. I wonder how many books have been written to combat, dispute, explain the so-called D'Vinci Code.
Certainly the story has taken on a life of its own. But what is it anyway? Is it some new found manuscript? Is it new evidence just discovered? Is it even someone's theory? Nope. None of the above. "The" D'Vinci Code is a story...a work of fiction...made up by a clever author. No doubt it will cause skeptics to nod their head in an "I told you so" acknowledgement. The story has obviously caused a tremendous amount of reaction in the Christian community.(ipso facto this writing) But is the reaction justified? Perhaps, in the vein of reminding us that we, as believers, ought to know more about our beliefs and the reasons for them...that there are good sound reasons for our faith. But to "combat" the book or movie? Why? What are we "combatting"? a made up work of fiction.Does it deserve all the attention? I'll leave that for others to decide, but we would do well to let it be only an evidence that many are always anxious to find some way to discredit truth, even if by fiction.
