Dan Brown’s controversial yet hugely successful book, The Da Vinci Code, will be hitting the silver screen next summer. HoustonChronicle.com has a recent article about the film’s trailer here. You can actually view the trailer here. One thing is for sure, if the book has challenged millions to question the church about central issues to our faith, a movie that makes the issues readily accessible to an even broader range of viewers (especially youth) will spark even more skepticism and doubt. Americans love a good conspiracy theory, and one that seeks to challenge the authenticity of Christianity will inspire a whole new breed of religious tantalizers, or at least widen its base. The church needs to ready itself now for the onslaught of interrogatory questioning. I myself plan on reading the book sometime this summer just to gain a better grasp on its central message and premises. I want to know my “enemy” from the inside out.
