Da Vinci Code– the Movie: GUIDE TO CHRISTIAN VIEWERS

Well I didn’t get to read the book before seeing the movie but here is one person’s Ben Witherington guidelines for Christian viewers

GUIDE TO CHRISTIAN VIEWERS This movie is not appropriate to bring: 1) young children to– the violence and self-flagellations scenes involving Silas the monk are too much for the young; 2) likewise this movie is going to raise numerous questions for people not well grounded in their faith, especially those of Roman Catholic background. I am not urging them to see it either. 3) Those who know the Bible, but not much about church history (including modern church history– e.g. what is Opus Dei) are not going to be able to dialogue with the inquisitive about this movie very well since it is more about church history than it is about anything in the Bible itself.

Thanks to mike for the link  my review will be posted later.
