And now McLaren
weighs in on
The Da Vinci Code. See here for interesting comments. I have to say I like a lot of this guy's thinking.
For all the flaws of Brown's book, I think what he's doing is suggesting that the dominant religious institutions have created their own caricature of Jesus.
and this one - ouch! (well - ouch for some - I'm ok with it)
The book is fiction and it's filled with a lot of fiction about a lot of things that a lot of people have already debunked. But frankly, I don't think it has more harmful ideas in it than the Left Behind novels.

sometimes I wonder if he just says stuff to stir things up. He's smart enough to debate the best of them...and he's smart enough to not leave little soundbites out there. I guess ultimately he likes a good debate...

Dude,
I have to completely agree with you on this one. :)
