This modern Grail quest leads to a French hilltop village with a turbulent history of religious and political intrigue and secrets--such as the claim that some of its families descended from the 24... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This another wonderfully readable book by Tim Wallace-Murphy et al, my favorite by the author being "Rosslyn". If you are a student of the Heresy, a laic person, as myself, of above average intelligence and of curious mind, no doubt you've found a lot of the literature on this subject....er-uuuummmm- 'challenging'. I find the big three on the Heresy: Baigent, Lincoln and Leigh- to be somewhat dry and verbose. Yaddah, yaddah, yaddah...well, you know those British (lol). I find myself having to read their paragraphs sometimes twice, three times over to try to get to the meaning. Wallace-Murphy et al, how ever, present their subject gently and lovingly...Baigent, Lincoln and Leigh are a bit more aggressive, trying to prove their point. Wallce-Murphy et al are comfortable in their beliefs, they are not attempting to persuade or dissuade: they present the mystery of the Age in a user-friendly text, knowing that if you are reading their book, there is no need for intellectual manipulation- you are on the threshold of belief, if not already there.

I always knew that there was somthing wrong with Biblical history and the Biblical view of Jesus. This book has put most things together for me. The best part was the history of Jews in Jeruselem 2000 years ago; there is no way that Jesus could have walked around, single, without being stoned to death. It was the LAW for all men to be married and be fruitfull. So based on this, Jesus WAS married and had offspring! Also, this book really brings to light, all the genosidal acts of the Christian Church during the Crusades. The Shroud of Turin part was INCREADABLE! (ALL statments and facts have a referance soarce).On the bases of the Bible, most Christians will not accept the overall view of this book. So if you have a Dogmatic personality, don't bother reading it. For those of you who think for yourselves; you will love this book !

Yet another book in the ever growing books about the linage of Jesus Christ.......... I soon found though, that this was not your everyday book... Its is very well researched, simple to read, and you dont need to have read any previous books on the subject matter. This I believe is important. Worthy to be on any shelf that would surely raise an eyebrow... The cover is impressive also........... You cannot afford NOT to have this book for lovers of ancient history or religious history buffs.....
