A very scholarly work lent credence by its author’s impressive string of titles and offices amongst which are the rather splendid sounding “Chevalier Labhràn de St. Germain” and the truly magnificent “Attaché to the Grand Protectorate of the Imperial Dragon Court of Hungary, 1408”. Fine stuff indeed !
Laurence Gardner concentrates on the lineage of Jesus and his wife (yes, his wife !) Mary Magdelene once she had been forced to flee the Holy Land for a Jewish Kingdom in Southern France after the events depicted in the Bible. The plot includes the usual suspects of the Masons, Rosicrucians, Knights Templar, and the Merovingian line of Frankish kings (the Scottish Stewarts also put in an appearance). Is the entire concept of the Jewish Messiah misrepresented in what most modern day Christians call the Bible ?
What was the true relationship between Jesus and Joseph of Arimethea, and how did this fit in with Jesus’ brother James and the office of John the Baptist? Are the “miracles” related in the gospels a coded representation of something entirely more mundane and politically motivated ? The author suggests he is in a unique position to reveal the true nature of that elusive object, the Holy Grail and sheds light on the amazing cover-up perpetrated by the Roman Church in an attempt to shanghai the story of Jesus to its own strategic ends using the published gospels as their vehicle.
This book is packed full of detail and its author’s depth of esoteric knowledge will turn quite a bit of what you think you know about the history of the last two thousand years on its head. A must read !
