Separating facts/speculation/fantasy

The Da
Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, is a remarkable novel and movie!
 | It is a blend of religious history, imagination, and a fast-paced, riveting story.
|
 | As of late 2006-MAR, it had been on the New York Times top ten
list of hardcover fiction for 155 continuous weeks -- about three years!
|
 | It has been translated into at least 42 different languages.
|
 | It is the "Harry Potter'" of adult mysteries.
|
 | It has spawned a series of books by other authors which attempt to separate fact from fiction in The Da Vinci Code.
|
 | By late 2006-MAR, over 40 million hardcover copies had been sold. It was
then published in paperback format, which sold over a half million
copies in its first week of release. |
But a Beliefnet poll in 2006-FEB showed that:
 | 48% found the novel "offensively inaccurate,"
|
 | 31% found it inaccurate but enjoyable,
|
 | 16% believe it makes a lot of sense.
|
 | 5% were not sure. |

Quotations:
 | "I find it beyond naive to convince myself that the folks who are
lapping up The Da Vinci Code are on a 'search for truth.' They're not.
They're on a crusade to validate their own rejection of the authority of
Christ and the Church." Barbara Nicolosi 1
|
 | "Frankly, I don't think it has more harmful ideas in it than the Left
Behind novels." Emerging Church leader Brian McLaren, commenting on the
Da Vinci Code. |
