<\/div>\n

Getting dizzy trying to navigate the myriad Christian websites that make the case against “The Da Vinci Code?” Fear not, I’m here to guide you.<\/p>\n

Some websites are simple and straightforward Q&As with Bible scholars and experts, like Amy Welborn’s online pamphlet, “The Da Vinci Code: The Facts Behind the Fiction.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Other sites are full-throated arguments from a number of different Christian perspectives. The Christian magazine Planet Envoy<\/a> has a long and lively de-bunking, plus an online discussion forum so you can get into the fray. Westminster Theological Seminary sponsors this website<\/a>, which is replete with resources, study guides, and discussions.<\/p>\n

The conservative evangelical group Focus on the Family has its own rebuttal site<\/a>. Also, the Mission America Coalition offers online Da Vinci Code audio conferences<\/a>, where pastors can consult with evangelical theologians on how to respond to the movie in their own communities.<\/p>\n

And of course, closer to home in the story itself, the Catholic group Opus Dei has published its official response<\/a> to the movie. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has its own Da Vinci rebuttal site, JesusDecoded.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, don’t forget to explore Beliefnet’s own extensive coverage<\/a> of all things Da Vinci, including the full spectrum of opinions.<\/p>\n
