My friend Hugh Duncan, producer of Nuclearity, has finished part one of a two part podcast on the DaVinci Code. It would be pointless for me to explain the ongoing buzz around the best selling book and now the movie release in May, so I won't. I'm sure you are aware of the current controversies.
So, I wanted to point you to Hugh's latest podcast entitled, Fact! The DaVinci Code Part 1.
Podcast one deals with the deity of Christ, the Council of Nicea (325), the formation of our biblical Canon, and other fiction presented as fact. Podcast guests include: Darrell Bock, author of Breaking the DaVinci Code, James Garlow, co-author of Cracking DaVinci’s Code, Erwin Lutzer, author of The DaVinci Deception, Paul Maier, co-author of The DaVinci Code: Fact or Fiction, Lee Strobel, co-author of Exploring the DaVinci Code (and special cameo appearance by Jars of Clay!)
Podcast two will address such issues as Gnosticism as well as the "relationship" between Jesus and Mary Magdalene & examining whether Leonardo's art give clues to this alleged relationship. This second podcast will be coming soon...you can subscribe here.
You can let Hugh know what you thought of the podcast on his nuclearity blog, or leave your comments here, as Hugh is a regular reader of i am chief. And by the way, today is Hugh's birthday!
Listen now, to Fact! The DaVinci Code Part 1.
I've been reading gnostic writings for almost 25 years now. I have some favorite passages, which I'd like to share here. Let's see...
ReplyDeleteSimon Peter said to them, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of Life.' Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may becaome a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the Kingdom of Heaven." The Gospel of Thomas
And Yaldabaoth was full of ignorance. And when the foreknowledge of the all noticed (it), she sent some and they snatched Life out of Eve. And the chief archon seduced her and he begot in her two sons; the first and the second (are) Eloim and Yave. Eloim is bear-face and Yave has a cat-face. The one is righteous but the other unrighteous... and these he called with the names Cain and Abel with a view to deceive. The Apocryphon of John
