I know I said I wasn't going to touch some controversial topics, but my friend, Barbara Nelson, sent me these links on critical reviews about the DaVinci Code. I enjoyed them because the pointed to areas for reviews on controversial books which we may still add but would like to be able to point to other criticism. Thanks Barbara.

From the Martin Marty Center "Cracking the DaVinci Code"

From Crosswalk Deciphering the DaVinci Code

and From Christianity Today the issue regarding making this book into a Movie

Christianity Today is the publisher of Books and Culture and a quick search there yielded this critique of The DaVinci Code from Planet Envoy

Have I read the book? Alas no! I did check it out this summer, but since I read several things at the same time, did not really get into this book. But should someone be having difficulty separating fact fromfiction in the book, kindly point them to these sites.
