He writes very well and finds many sources to support his thesis. A good continuation for his first book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail.

I’ve done a lot of research on the Jesus phenomenon and I have yet to find any other work to be as encyclopedic in its thoroughness. The depth that the 3 authors went to in order to get their data exceeds anything else I’ve found. Referencing ‘The Messianic Legacy’ is a sure way to gain credibility. If you’re looking for one volume to both give you the greatest insight into the birth, life and death of Jesus, as well as the a single book to launch you on other research you had no idea existed, here it is.

Very interesting premise based on evidence at hand. An open mind is definitely a prerequisite prior to delving into this book.

This is an update of Holy Blood, Holy Grail . I read both years ago and ordered this copy for a friend following a recent discussion of the contents. The topic is fascinating, but the authors allowed liberal politics to seep into some of their commentary about Pres. Reagan. This annoyed me, but not enough to slam the book…it’s just too interesting.

It is good to see detail suppressed by many Inquisitions coming into the light of day again; their detailed and simple explanations of how archetypes play on our common culture and ancestry and keep these timeless, universal themes alive is easy to understand. It is also a good book for helping one see the original intent of these archetypes as “good for us” versus the negative play that so many of the “conspiratorial authors” enlarge upon. This book will help those wanting to “free their minds” from past cultural control and guide us into “individual control” with direct contact with all levels of the universe. This is what the “original mandate” was for the people entrusted with helping earthly culture evolve. It is a positive one, not a negative thing. That some people have used this for negative, like for “power” in the world, does not make it any less valuable info toward understanding our “Oneness” with all dimensions of the universe.

Many thinking Christians will already be aware of the part that St Paul and, later, Constantine, had in shaping the religion they know today. This book fills out some historical details which illustrate in an astonishing way the contrast between “gentle Jesus meek and mild” and how much more ruggedly He would have been perceived as The Leader in the context of His time and place. It also proposes that as a Jew it would have been most odd if Jesus had not been married and had children. This unusual slant on Jesus explains in one stroke the many anomalies and inconsistencies in the Gospels as manipulated by Paul and Constantine. This is a challenging section for Christians, but the authors treat your beliefs with utmost respect and assert that what they have come up with is already known to theological students (includes your local priest) and will deepen, rather than wipe out, the beliefs of a serious Christian disciple.
The next section is a cogent, sweeping piece of work which explains the human need for something to believe in, and how 20th century dictatorships stage-managed events to fill those needs. If you ever wondered how a beast like Hitler could charm one of the most civilised peoples on Earth, here is one plausible explanation. Really worth reading, in my opinion.
The last section suggests there is a quasi-secret organisation of aristocratic families who have held “the secret” that Jesus did marry and his bloodline continues today. This society holds an intention that one day the heirs to David’s line, through Jesus, will come to rule. It sounds corny in this précis form, but there is hard evidence that this society exists and is both serious and influential.
So, the thread that runs through the book is that Jesus was from the royal lineage of David (undoubtedly true) had children (most probably) and his heirs exist today. I found this argument weakening and running out of steam towards the end, however.
Conspiracy theorists will love it; academics, pedants and fundamentalists will hate it. If you are open-minded, go for it. You will definitely learn a new slant on certain aspects of history.

I’m still reading this book and am enjoying it immensely. This book and others of Michael Baigent and his co-authors definitely puts to rest many questions I’ve always had about what happened and when at this tumultuous time in history. It also explains the political and religious climate as well as the very many players in a very complicated era.

Gail read it, not John. Gail is still mulling it over, there is a lot of food for thought. Liked the link to the CIA and like agencies around the world. Great research. Thank You!

Lots of European history covered in the book. So, the Priory has what it’s been pushing for, a United States of Europe, which is obviously not working, as some of the countries involved are now pulling out. It does concern me that they may be ultimately pushing for a one-world govt, which can only end up as a fascist state.

This book is a sequel to the first book, very well written.

The author is not providing any concrete evidence for suruvival of crucifucation of christ .(How can when even there is no evidence for the existence of christ in secular history)
