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 controversy.
"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
User reviewsHoly Blood, Holy Grail, Great Book 
By Katherine Bicknell, Puyallup, WA Anyone who is a fan of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, needs to read Holy Blood, Holy Grail as soon as they can get their hands on it. This book is the real thing. A well researched investigation into the truth behind many of society's beliefs about Christianity and what we know of Jesus Christ. But what this book is, at its heart, is a great piece of conspiracy thriller writing. The authors Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln have given readers a book which questions whether Jesus was executed on the cross, what his relationship was with Mary Magdalen, and what the truth is behind the Holy Grail. I read this book, and its companion The Messianic Legacy, before reading The Da Vinci Code. I always recommend this book to any of my friends I know can't resist a good Jesus mystery.
