Getting lots of requests for my take on Angels & Demons. A video interview will be available in the Deep & Wide e-newsletter in the next few days, so make sure you're signed up to receive that at www.shepherdproject.com.
In the meantime, here's my quick take: Angels & Demons won't have anywhere near the impact of The Da Vinci Code. The DVC was bigger because it took aim at Christianity more generally whereas Angels & Demons is less anti-Christian and more anti-Catholic. It is really the Catholic church that comes out looking bad in Angels & Demons. Consequently, most Christians probably won't pay this movie adaptation any attention at all.
That might be a mistake, however, as Angels & Demons does raise some interesting issues that certainly impact Christianity as a whole. Again, though, it is not as blatantly targeting the historoical foundations of Christianity as the Da Vinci Code.
Check out the video interview in a few days.
