Interested in buying a Christian response book to the Da Vinci Code? No, I haven't read any of them either. Roger Overton over at the A-Team has reviewed five of them, and plans to review more this week.
Not so suprizing there are so many polemic books on the Da Vinci code. Three reasons:
1. Many feel threatened by the claims of the book even though it is a novel.
2. There is a history of polemic writing in the Christian church that goes back to Tertullian in the Third Century.
3. ...and perhaps most importantly, there is a BUTTLOAD of money to be made writing adversus hereticus books to attack the #1 bestseller for the past two years.
