I really like Lee Strobel's "Case for Christ" book. I find his defense of Christianity to be spot on in most cases.

I worry, though, whether people get the impression they're to be committed to Christ because they have intellectually satisfying information that helps them maintain their Christianity or because they've committed to Christ NO MATTER the satisfaction level of any current investigation into any murky issue might be.

It's like the Soldier's Oath into the US military being:

• "I solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic AS LONG AS I GET SATISFYING ANSWERS."

I will never forget the first time I heard about the DaVinci book, a friend said that her mother read the book and was convinced that Jesus had been married etc.

Point being, some weak Christians who are weak in their faith were questioning Christianity and the reason is that the novel was about a secret organization formed by the Catholic Church that not a lot of people knew nothing about.
OpusDei

The author of the DaVinci Code cleverly used the name of the "secret" organization to further his "secrets" that there must be something to this "secret code".

All this secrecy and intrigue was a veiled attempt to shake the faith of weak Christians and to question thousands of years of faith and the Bible.

Don't fall for it. Believe in the Bible and Jesus Christ!

This is what Opus Dei is:

"Opus Dei is a Catholic institution founded by Saint Josemaría Escrivá. Its mission is to help people turn their work and daily activities into occasions for growing closer to God, for serving others, and for improving society"

stjoesmaria was born in Spain and is Spanish....

Hmmm want to add to the "mystery of the DaVinci Code or the "conspiracy"
this may be a stretch but with this controversial conspiracy amongst it all we have the spanish speaking
illegal aliens infiltratiing this country any connection???

For those who want to believe but have difficulty, and for those who think God and Jesus are just comforting superstitions, historical facts and intellectual reasoning are helpful.

For those who know, these discussions are satisfying though unnecessary.

...or because they've committed to Christ NO MATTER the satisfaction level of any current investigation into any murky issue might be.

I must misunderstand your point...why would that be a worry?
