Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Is the classic, accepted view of the life of Christ in some way incomplete? The authors of The Messianic Legacy present a provocative and meticulously researched look at Christ and the history of Christianity.
“Enough to seriously challenge many traditional beliefs, if not alter them.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review
Explosive, thought-provoking, fiercely compelling, Holy Blood, Holy Grail breaks bold new ground with its shocking conclusions about the lineage of Christ and the legacy of the Holy Grail. Based on decades of research, filled with eye-opening evidence and stunning scholarship, this authoritative work uncovers an alternate history as unsettling as it is believable. Holy Blood, Holy Grail dares to ask:
• 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 Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln, not only are these things possible, they are probably true! So revolutionary, so original, so convincing, the most faithful Christians will be moved; here is the book that has sparked worldwide controversy.
Reviews
Good read with a plausible theory
5By Adlin.1307I’m not either a religious person nor an atheist but way even before reading this book, as a teenager, I always thought that Jesus was a mortal man, another prophet. Even being raised a Christian couldn’t allow me to readily believe that a virgin got pregnant by a “spirit, not even God’s. Not to mention the many contradictions between Jesus’ teachings in the Bible and how actual religion was being taught to the masses.
