debunking da vinci

interestingly, cdu is offering an online seminar on debunking the da vinci code. now i'm not suggesting that anyone should actually enroll in this thing, but you should know the phenomenon is out there (and will likely stay out there a while b/c ron howard's movie is scheduled for release in 2005). i'm interested b/c i read dan brown's book last summer, then i preached a few weeks ago and began my sermon by reading some passages from it. amazon is even carrying a book (yet to be released, i think) that one of my favorite bloggers, amy welborn (check out open book), has written entitled de-coding da vinci. obviously, someone's struck a nerve -- or @ least captured our imagination. to be continued . . .
