In May's Tabletalk, there are several articles refuting the Da Vinci Code from various angles. One that made an impact with me and it should with Christians as a whole is the question - what is the agenda behind it. Not necessarily from Brown, the book's author, but his is just one of many. This quote comes from a paragraph in Peter R. Jones article highlighting the agenda.
The agenda of The Da Vinci Code is revealed clearly by Tim Freke, author of an equally radical book on Jesus, The Jesus Mysteries: Was the Original Jesus a Pagan God? When interviewed about the significance of Brown's novel, he said, "People are looking for and hoping for a new interpretation of Christianity."
And, another article from Tabletalk, by Robert M Norris, speaks of the need for discernment. Why does this obvious fictional and an erroneous account cause so much stir among Christians.
So, we have an outright attack on one hand, and Christian immaturity on the other. Sadly, some of the attacks are coming from within the church, even conservative, bible-believing churches, with its new formulations of classical reformation Christianity. Plus Christians are becoming increasingly ignorant of the Bible.
I do not mention this in terms of their being an answer; however, this is what God is giving us to deal with.
