From a comment on GetReligion to this post:

I think it is interesting that so many Christians are wringing their hands and debating tactics over the mangled history and theology of DVC, but that another very popular series of books with similar sins, Left Behind, garnered very little criticism (by comparison).

So is twisted theology, bad history, and conspiracy theories (not to mention a Jesus that bears little resemblance to the biblical figure) only bad if a liberal “outsider” writes it? I want to know. If the “Left Behind” films had made mega-money would Christian pundits on the right start taking it apart? Publishing tons of books debunking it?
