The May 19, 2006 release of the movie, The Da Vinci Code, which is based on Dan Brown’s popular novel, is sure to stimulate discussion in our culture and in the local church even more than the novel has accomplished. Many of the “claims” asserted in the novel challenge the biblical, historical and theological foundations that define the apostolic witness of genuine Christianity.

For eleven weeks in the spring semester at Nashotah House, we have examined the most significant assertions offered in the novel, with a view toward articulating the distinctions that have defined Christianity throughout its history. Our sessions have been led by four members of the regular faculty at Nashotah House and five distinguished visiting lecturers from institutions in the Milwaukee and Chicago areas. As a resource that we hope will serve Christians who want to be better informed about the DaVinci Code, we are pleased to be able to offer summaries of the eleven class sessions and a list of recommended reading material.

If you have questions about Nashotah House's course, A Christian Response to the DaVinci Code, please contact Dr. Carol Klukas, Director of Admissions, (262) 646-6547.
