Product Description

Product Description

This is the startling, frighteningly convincing sequel to the holy blood and the holy grail that reveals the very nature of the messianic legacy. After the shocking revelations of "The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail" the authors, in their quest to determine the discrepancies between early and modern 'Christian' thought, found that they were forced to ask such questions as: Was there more than one Christ? Was Christ the founder of Christianity? Were the disciples as peace-loving as it is traditionally assumed? What links the Vatican, the CIA, the KGB, the Mafia, Freemasonry, P2, Opus Dei and the Knights Templar? What mysterious modern crusade implicates British industry, Churchill and de Gaulle, the EEC and Solidarity? "The Messianic Legacy" offers enthralling new investigations into the shadowy society of the 'Prieure de Sion' - 'The Guardians of the Holy Grail' - as the authors discover the murky world of politics, finance, freemasonry, and religion that exists beneath the most solid and conservative seeming of European institutions. The ominous global conspiracy of disinformations they uncovered ensures that "The Messianic Legacy" us an up-to-the-minute thriller and a work of biblical detection that is even more significant than "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail".

2.0 out of 5 stars A Poor Sequel to The Holy Blood And The Holy Grail, 9 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Unlike The First Book, The Messianic Legacy leaves the true investigation to the last section and fills the first two sections with theories on the spread of christianity. The first book on the other hand led the reader in with a simple investigation and once the reader was hooked provided the theories, which one would read for satisfaction. In reading this book I dragged myself through the first section, gave up during the second and was about to throw the book away when I realised that the third section could be read in itself without reading the first two.

Ths also led me to question the relevance of the information in the first two sections which appear to serve no purpose other than to fill the book. I had similar reservations in the first book due to the chapter claiming that Lazarus stage managed Jesus Miracles and that the crucifiction had been staged. As it was neither of these points were required to prove the authors initial reasons for turning to christ however they were included despite being obviously inflamatory. This books is similarly only it devotes two thirds to these irrelevant statements insteads of two chapters.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read after "Holy Blood Holy Grail", 28 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Without rehashing much of "Holy Blood Holy Grail" [HBHG], Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln have succeeded in sheding more light on the beginings of early Pauline Christianity, the Prieuré of Sion and even the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Written much in the style of HBHG the authors unravel more intriuging aspects of religion and life as we now know it. Much like HBHG, the reading itself is quite intricate as the authors weave you through decades of historical data, the Old Testament and the New Testament(s). As before the authors do not preach their own beliefs but present their theories in an unbiased and logical manner allowing the reader to accept their findings as fact, interpret their findings as they will or even disregard their theories as pure speculation.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Sequel, 12 Sep 2006
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
I purchased this book with some trepidation, why? Well I wondered whether the authors really needed to write this book, particularly as they had just republished The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail, or were they simply riding the crest of the wave of publicity surrounding the court case brought by themselves against Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown.

In fact this book does have new facts to compliment their previous efforts and new investigations into the society of the `Prieure de Sion' The Guardians of the Holy Grail. They also delve into the world of politics, Freemasonry and religion.

If you say it sincerely and with conviction you can make a lot of people believe a lot of things. I am not saying that the book is not factually accurate, only that it is down to the individual to put their own interpretation on to the facts that are placed before them. The thing about books like this is that if you do not read them you cannot form an opinion one way or the other.
