Jonathan, Thanks so much for sending this. I will look up some of these.  How long ago would I have to look in the archives for your review?  judyt   On Wed, 19 Jan 2005 08:40:13 -0500 "Jonathan Hughes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Hi Judy,   If you go way back in the archives you will see a review that I did for this book.  Below are some web resources.   http://cana.userworld.com/cana_DaVinciCode.html   http://www.fpcboulder.org/images/ministries/adult/davinci.pdf  Scroll down to the bottom where they list a number of pretty good resources and reviews.  These should help you come to grasp with the essential teachings this ‘fiction’ book popularizes.   Basic premise:  Jesus and Mary Magdalene marry secretly and have a baby girl.  This girl is hidden by a sect within the Roman Catholic Church.  This girl (referred to as the sacred feminine) is actually the Holy Grail.  This is rediscovered in the present day.  The book is based upon subtle and not so subtle Gnostic teachings.  For the record it is rather a fun read if one was able to lay aside the theology he is trumpeting.  It is because it is fun (nice short chapters with hooks at the end of each of them that make you want to read the next one) that it is so popular and therefore possibly dangerous.   Take a quick visit to www.amazon.com and look up this book.  There are a number of lists of Christian sources.  For example: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0785260463/qid=1106141811/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-5117825-4600018?v=glance&s=books&n=507846   http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/guides/guide-display/-/92FAYWN05Y7U/ref=cm_bg_dp_m_2/002-5117825-4600018   Hope this helps.   Jonathan   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Judy Taylor Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 7:55 AM To: truthtalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: [TruthTalk] Bookman     Say Lance (the Bookman), do you sell and/or have you read the DaVinci code and if so do you have an opinion about it?  Aso anyone else on TT. My neice in Australia is reading it and she is totally anti Bible, anti Church that my interest has been tweaked because she says she "likes" it. jt -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
