Da Vinci Code Confirms Rather Than Changes People's Religious Views
The Barna Group released the results of a new study this week. It indicates that the book The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown is not likely to change one's religious views, as much as it is likely to reinforce one's preexisting beliefs. The study produced other fascinating statistics on the impact of The Da Vinci Code: The book has been read (cover to cover) by 45 million people, that means one out of every five adults in the country. Catholics are more likely to read the book than Protestants. Twenty-four percent of those who read the book deemed it at least somewhat helpful to "personal spiritual growth or understanding." Thirty percent of those polled said they were like to see The Da Vinci Code film in the theater. Among the 45 million who have read The Da Vinci Code, only five percent - which represents about two million adults - said that they changed any of the beliefs or religious perspectives because of the book's content.
Food for thought.
In Christ's service,
