Andreas, besides AO Scott quip, this is the funniest thing I read about the
DVC! (Not to mention the Mafia - Catholic Church analogy...)

(Scott called Mr. Brown's book a "primer on how not to write an English
sentence" http://movies2.nytimes.com/2006/05/17/movies/17cnd-code.html.)

BTW, The Teaching Company has a free two-part audio lecture about the DVC's
theological background:

TTC's "renowned lecturer Bart Ehrman", to quote the DVC's famous opening, is
also prominently featured in a recent NYRB and Chronicle articles:

On Gnosticism
