The Da Vinci Code Lecture
The Da Vinci Code: Win, Spin or Bin?
Good evening and a very warm welcome to St. Vincent Street Free Church. I want to talk tonight about the most read book of the last 10 years – a book which spent over 40 weeks at the top of the New York Times bestseller list for 2003 and has, at present, sold over 61 million copies and is the sixth bestselling book of all time. The film, spawned from the book and carrying the same title, stars top Hollywood actors Tom Hanks, Sir Ian McKellen and Audrey Tautou has, to date, grossed over 410 million dollars worldwide. Of course, I am speaking of the Da Vinci Code.
