Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Is the traditional, accepted view of the life of Christ in some way incomplete?
• Is it possible Christ did not die on the cross?
• Is it possible Jesus was married, a father, and that his bloodline still exists?
• Is it possible that parchments found in the South of France a century ago reveal one of the best-kept secrets of Christendom?
• Is it possible that these parchments contain the very heart of the mystery of the Holy Grail?
According to the authors of this extraordinarily provocative, meticulously researched book, not only are these things possible — they are probably true! so revolutionary, so original, so convincing, that the most faithful Christians will be moved; here is the book that has sparked worldwide controversey.
'Enough to seriously challenge many traditional Christian beliefs, if not alter them.'
— Los Angeles Times Book Review
'Like Chariots of the Gods?...the plot has all the elements of an international thriller.'
— Newsweek
From the Paperback edition.
Amazon.com Review:
Michael Baigent, Henry Lincoln, and Richard Leigh, authors of The Messianic Legacy, spent over 10 years on their own kind of quest for the Holy Grail, into the secretive history of early France. What they found, researched with the tenacity and attention to detail that befits any great quest, is a tangled and intricate story of politics and faith that reads like a mystery novel. It is the story of the Knights Templar, and a behind-the-scenes society called the Prieure de Sion, and its involvement in reinstating descendants of the Merovingian bloodline into political power. Why? The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail assert that their explorations into early history ultimately reveal that Jesus may not have died on the cross, but lived to marry and father children whose bloodline continues today. The authors' point here is not to compromise or to demean Jesus, but to offer another, more complete perspective of Jesus as God's incarnation in man. The power of this secret, which has been carefully guarded for hundreds of years, has sparked much controversy. For all the sensationalism and hoopla surrounding Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the alternate history that it outlines, the authors are careful to keep their perspective and sense of skepticism alive in its pages, explaining carefully and clearly how they came to draw such combustible conclusions. --Jodie Buller

Thank you for whipping muslims' hinnies. This book deals with the supposed secret history of an order of warrior monks calling themselves the Knights Templar, or Knights of the Temple. It traces its rich history until this books' publication. They were witches who for social pressures reasons made it so they were the standard bearers of Christianity. I liked it, but their target audience is old men.

I admit I am fascinated by the grail theory that it was really either Mary Magdalene or the child she might have carried. The authors don't claim to have the answers but they offer some interesting explanations for their theories. I downloaded the Audible unabriged version first, then bought the book as a backup. It has some photos. I deducted a star because the photos are not very good copies. Normally grey and white photos show great detail, but not the ones used in the book. Still, it's a good read if you keep an open mind. Now, when will someone write a book about Jesus's siblings and their descendents?

Whether or not you believe what the author presents, it is a fascinating read. This is the type of book that incites and individual to maybe question and hopefully dive deeper into their own investigation. Just as a heads up, the author's other book The Temple and The Lodge is not worthy of this initial writing and should be avoided.

Having loved The Da Vinci Code I'd thought I'd delve deeper since Holy Blood Holy Grail was the inspiration for it. Big mistake. This was an absolutely exhausting book to read. It seems to go on for over 300 pages of endless genealogies before it gets to the main hypothesis. It's an extremely slow read,at times repetitive and incredibly boring. The subject was interesting but getting there will kill you. Don't do it.

What an incredible book. Once you start reading it, you won't be able to set it down. The premise of this complex story is this- three different religions set out to discover the bloodline of Jesus and to accurately paint the picture of his life. With very little evidence this would prove a daunting task. While the book is controversial, it is all well written and a treat to have read. I even got yelled at by my boss for reading the book on company time. I've read it 4 times and each time is like the very first time. There is a lot of information to process so get ready be blown away. It's awesome. Also, if you missed reading GE0RGI0U's masterpiece--FATES, go and read it. Fates (classic)
