Christian Responses to The Da Vinci Code: Boycott or Be Equipped?

The Da Vinci Code movie hits theaters tomorrow, May 19. Are you prepared? Do you know the facts of history and the Christian faith well enough to recognize Dan Brown's fiction-presented-as-fact?

I like what Father Jonathan Morris said in this Fox News article, "If the millions of readers and viewers of The Da Vinci Code knew the Christian faith, Dan Brown would be unable to muddle fact and fiction in the irresponsible way he has."

The Da Vinci Code may actually turn out to be a very good thing for Christianity, if it causes us to better understand our history and the faith we profess to believe. Rather than boycotting, might we instead spend our energy becoming better equipped to share our faith through conversations about the film and the novel? Father Morris predicted The Da Vinci Code will have a positive result for Christianity. He said, "In the hype, Christians will ask themselves what and why we believe. And for this we must not forget to say, 'Thank you, Mr. Brown.'"
