Description
Résumé:The following remarks aim at setting in analytical context the academic as well as the popular receptions of the thriller The Da Vinci Code, written by Dan Brown (2003). From the academic perspective, we can witness two kinds of reactions to this novel: on one hand, a plain dismissal by most professional historians of Christianity and specialists in the history of religions, and on the other hand, responses by biblical and theological scholars who answer back at the argument of the book not in literary terms but in historical ones (confusing literary genres due to theological reasons). On the more popular level, it is possible to connect the arguments of the book (a conspiracy through the times) with multiple contemporary expressions of spirituality and/or religious thought, which stand apart from the tenets of historical religious institutions such as the Catholic Church and traditional Protestantism. This last scenario may be linked to the current situation of religious practices and phenomena in a “secularized” world.
