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
From AudioFile
Okay, DA VINCI CODE fans, here's a compelling, scholarly work that tells you more than you want to know about the Christ cover-up. However, it does not work well in audio. It's not the fault of narrator Simon Prebble, who does a fine job; it's the nature of the incredibly complicated work. It's impossible to keep track of the hundreds of names, places, and dates that concern the Knights Templar, the Catholic Church, the Freemasons, the Spanish Inquisition, and dozens of secret sects. Furthermore, many of the names are pronounced with heavy French accents, making them hard to understand. It all becomes a blur, and listeners will wish they had the book in hand so they could re-read key passages. M.S. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Ce livre perturbe beaucoup de croyances sur la Bible et donne l'impression que l'histoire de moyen age a ete reecrite par l'eglise catolique. En fait, il decouvre qu'il y a une histoire paralelle qui est visible dans les oeuvres d'art (notament Poussin) et qui est gardee par les societes secretes, comme Prieure de Sion.
Le seul probleme, a mon avis, est que ce livre est plein de suppositions, mais que les auteurs manquent de preuves solildes pour toutes leurs hypotheses. En fait, si quelque chose n'existe pas, cela veut dire que quelqu'un l'a efface... Ce n'est pas tres plausible historiquement.
A lire, en tout cas. Ca ne se lit pas facilement, comme un roman policier, mais ca pose beaucoup de questions interessantes...

Anybody who does not believe everything written in the bible will find this book interesting., and even those who believe in the gospel truth of the bible and have an open mind about it will still enjoy the probing nature of the book. The author said it himself that he does not believe or disbelieve what he wrote because they are more of the opinions of others. He used the particular phrase of "it is said that " in presenting his case.
It should be noted that the book is written to present the cases of those who held the belief that Jesus didn't die in the cross and began a bloodline hat survived him and still survives until today, and those who do not hold that belief. And since the Christian world does not hold that belief, the book had to focus on presenting the case of those who support that belief even if it is far-fetched. I am a Christian and I do not believe the skeptics, still I find this book interesting. It lets one get an idea of how things were during the early days of the church, an unsettling situation which could not be devoid of the emergence of myths. What is myth or reality about the life of Jesus is a question of faith. Still this book comes with Disciples of fortune, The Da Vinci Code, The Messianic legacy as deep books read for a while. Overall, this is a very easy book to read with very a very captivating plot.

Highly recommended. One of the best books I have ever read. It is intelligent, clear and very captivating. It is a pity that this book is today reconsidered only because inspired the Da Vinci Code.
