A Pulpit Online for Critics of 'The Da Vinci Code' Film
By LAURIE GOODSTEIN
Published: February 9, 2006
At a time when conservative Christian groups have been particularly quick
to strike back at Hollywood fare they find offensive, Sony Pictures faced a
predicament with its coming film "The Da Vinci Code."
Should the studio try to mollify the critics who say the "Code" is
blasphemy, with its plot describing a church conspiracy to cover up the
truth that Jesus married and never rose from the dead? Or should it ignore
the complainers, sit back and watch the controversy boost ticket sales?
Instead, Sony has decided to hand a big bullhorn to the detractors of "The
Da Vinci Code."
The company is putting up a Web site today - well ahead of the movie's
release on May 19 - that will give a platform to some of the fiercest
critics of "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, the book that is the movie's
source.
The site, thedavincichallenge.com, will post essays by about 45 Christian
writers, scholars and leaders of evangelical organizations who will pick
apart the book's theological and historical claims about Christianity.
