I'll be leading a small group at chruch and we'll use Strobel's DVD as a launching pad.

It was the history that bugged me the most, I think, especially surrounding Constantine's reign. I hope Strobel covers most of that (I haven't watched the DVD yet).

I read the book by Lee Stroebel after seeing the movie, and WOW is all I can say. For someone claiming to have historical fact, he TRULY has gotten everything wrong. I think he only got a few facts right out of the whole book, and that is.... (drum roll) the fact that there actually is a sect called Opus Dei and that the actually cities like Paris actually exist.

What's sad is that he makes this junk up and actually believes. I wouldn't be surprised at our society of they come up with a cult named the Brownism or something lame like that.

I read the book too. I didn't realize he believes his own writings. The preface (if I remember correctly) states that he takes actual locations, histories, etc. and then weaves a novel which I believe by definition is not true (history, biography).

Anyway, I'm with you. Your faith should be based on knowing God and knowing Him only comes from knowing His Word.

I actually feel bad for Hanks... he can act, but from what I've heard he wasn't really allowed to act. I'll bet Ian McKellen (Teabing) did act, though...

Had a friend who went to see it, and he actually heard people gasp in horror when the movie said Jesus was maried to Mary and had a daughter.

*sigh*

I agree about not getting too worked up. I don't really see what all the fuss is about it - I mean, it's FICTION! I did enjoy the novel for it's fast-pacedness (I think I may have just made that word up), the suspense, and the cryptic stuff. But I didn't take Dan Brown's "historical data" worth a grain of salt. It's crap and I know that. :)

I was really looking forward to the movie but my excitement has waned - I don't think I've heard ONE good review. And I don't like spending $20 to see a crappy movie. (Movie tickets are ridiculously expensive, aren't they?)

Anyway, I liked your post - thanks! (That one review WAS very funny! A lump of dough in a wig?! LOL!)
