Da Vinci Code Study Bible

Da Vinci Code Study Bible - purgatorio

This is quite funny. One thing that often bugs me a little is how Christian publishers / authors are such bandwagon jumpers. Any time something makes a big impact in popular culture you can be guaranteed to find a swathe of related products (books, DVDs etc) spring up in your local Christian bookstore, whether it’s Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, or the Da Vinci Code. Now all of these are not unreasonable subjects to be studied from a Christian perspective but do we really need twenty different books on each? For example I put “Da Vinci Code” into the Koorong website search and got 26 results. Call me cynical but it seems like an easy way to cash in.

Anyway the link above is to a satirical “Da Vinci Code Study Bible” - the scary thing is that it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that such a product might actually be released (as an NIV I’m sure). Check it out, and have a browse around the Purgatorio website - Christian humour which is a bit hit and miss but usually enough to raise a smile.
