This is the worst piece of journalism ever written. It makes the articles in the National Enquirer look like Pulitzer material.
The book was begun on a claim made by someone who has since recanted about the society that never existed. The authors, realizing they had a great idea on their hands ran with it, but their mistake was that they decided to pass it off as factual, which, in my mind, ended their journalistic credibility.
Don't believe me? Go get the book from the library and look up any Bible passage they quote. See if the explanation they give for the passage makes any sense when you read the section it's from. Then, if you're still not convinced, check out some of the gnostic gospels they quote and see if there's any chance they are being used out of context, like the Biblical passages they used to built their fictitious house of cards.
The entire book is one premise built upon another. "If this is true, then this must be also true". They never discuss what happens when any of their suppositions are false (which most are). It's a well put together ruse.
Still want more proof? Ask yourself why, if they are writing a historical account of an event, they decided to sue Dan Brown for using their "history" as a plot for the fictitious DaVinci Code. If what they discovered was history, it's not intellectual property. If it is intellectual property, as they claimed in their lawsuit, then it's not factual. It's FICTION!
Holy Blood, Holy Grail
A very interesting and educational book - however, a bit difficult to read and follow. Consequently, I had to read this at a very slow pace in order to comprehend. This book did not change my belief that Jesus did not father children. Keep in mind that a large part of this book is based on educated guess or assumption. I think it is an excellent source for historical info.
Not what I expected.
I haven't read the book yet, but my son did and said it was horrible.
