First as a runaway bestselling novel and then as a blockbuster movie, The Da Vinci Code has fascinated millions. Its allegations against historic Christianity are colorfully portrayed---but are they true, or merely inaccurate accounts of centuries-old myths and heresies? Enjoy riveting DVD interviews with noted experts---and prepare for some lively discussions as your group explores provocative issues raised by The Da Vinci Code. Four sessions address the following questions: 1. What Can History Really Tell Us? 2. Can We Trust the Four Gospels? 3. What's the Role of Women in Christianity? 4. Is Jesus the Son of God? This DVD-guided small group forum is designed for use with an accompanying discussion guide that includes questions, sidebar information, background material, Bible verses, and relevant quotes. Each session includes interviews with experts and concludes with facilitator Lee Strobel's perspective. As an added bonus, the kit includes a copy of Exploring the Da Vinci Code, and outreach book designed to be shared with friends, family, neighbors---anyone who may be struggling with the misunderstanding fostered by The Da Vinci Code. Also available: Discussing the Da Vinci Code Discussion Guide and Exploring the Da Vinci Code Outreach Book.
