Eleonora reports (No.15000) that Hyde is reading The Da Vinci Code.
I’ve read the book and also studied the issues it raises. It's definitely a work of fiction and sometimes makes the mistake of treating certain interpretations of evidence as actual fact, but still, it touches on honest historical and theological questions (it’s also a real page-turner!).
So, it pleases me to hear that Hyde’s reading the book. I think it’s a good thing to explore both fiction and nonfiction when learning about something (for example, when studying existentialism I read scholarly articles and The Plague by Camus).
Also, for any who might be interested, here’s a good site for online texts of historical Early Christian Writings.
