Nit, kayaknya aku ga setuju dg Dan Brown sbg pahlawan kaum wanita, I think he wrote DVC just for the sake of writing. I like Dan Brown, but he kinda skew the Christian message about Christ, which is very important to the Christian faith. I do support freedom of speech, anyone can write anything about any subject, tapi bagi orang2 yg tidak punya background ttg Christianity, atau secularism in the US, DVC akan jadi 'batu sandungan' dan menimbulkan kontroversi krn akan menyesatkan bagi org2 yg tidak mengerti (hm, kira2 jelas ga ya komen gw yg ini..he3) I don't think the sacred feminine is demonized by the church, instead I think DB lebih feminis drpd feminis asli.. Konsep original sin juga bukan seperti konsep yg diajukan DB, malah dalam kekristenan, Christ yg menjadi pahlawan bagi org2 tersingkir (women, children, lepers, samaritans, non-jews, all the outcasts..) Peran wanita tidak pernah lebih tidak penting drpd peran laki2 di Bible. E.g. Deborah (one of the judge in OT), Mary, Dorcas (from NT) etc. What do you think? virna -----Original Message----- From: Anitya Dharma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 Januari 2005 15:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PasarBuku] Lagi: Da Vinci Code Oke, saya (akhirnya) sudah baca DVC. Baru sekarang berani ikutan komentar. Menurut saya, Dan Brown bagi publik perempuan adalah "pahlawan" yang telah mengangkat isu pemanipulasian fakta sejarah (oleh kaum laki-laki) tentang pentingnya peran perempuan (dulu) dalam agama. DVC, edisi softcover, hal 258-259: "The power of female and her ability to produce life was once very sacred, but it posed a threat to the rise of the predominantly male Church, and so the sacred feminine was demonized and called unclean. It was man . who created the concept of 'original sin', whereby Eve tasted of the apple and caused the downfall of the human race. Woman, once the sacred giver of life, was now the enemy .. Eve was created from Adam's rib. Woman became an offshoot of man. And a sinful one at that." I love this guy! ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> DonorsChoose.
