Did Jesus marry and have children with Mary Magdalene? If so, what happened to his family? Are descendants of Jesus still alive today? This extraordinary account of the potential family line that the author believes was born from Jesus Christ encompasses some of the most romantic, colourful and sacred territory of the past 2,000 years. From royal and suppressed archives, Gardner presents proof of the heritage of Jesus in the West and new findings on the long awaited discovery of the Holy Grail. Featuring all the charm and adventure of Arthurian romance, coupled with enthralling Rosicrucian and Templar disclosures, this work has a cutting edge of intrigue and exposure of conspiracy in the vein of Michael Baigent's international bestseller The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail (Arrow). Bringing together revelatory insights into the descendant heirs of Jesus and his brother James, Gardner: Proves that there is an authentic line of succession from the sons of Jesus and James / Documents a hidden legacy of the Messiah and unveils hitherto guarded secrets about Mary Magdalene (was married to Jesus) and Joseph of Arimathea (was Jesus's brother). / Traces the sacred lineage through centuries of persecution and Inquisition, revealing a systematic suppression of authentic records and a strategic manipulation of the New Testament Gospels / The author was granted privileged access to royal and religious archives and repositories across Europe
Does a biological lineage of Jesus Christ exist, and has it been systematically suppressed by religious and political institutions for two millennia? Laurence Gardner, a self-styled historian and researcher, utilizes a combination of genealogical records, Arthurian legend, and archival documents to argue that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and fathered children. The book posits that this bloodline survived through the centuries, forming the basis of the Holy Grail mythos and challenging the traditional theological narrative of the Church.
What You Will Find
This work is widely regarded by academic historians and theologians as pseudohistorical, lacking the rigorous evidentiary standards required for its extraordinary claims. While it remains a popular text within esoteric and alternative history circles, it is viewed by the broader scholarly community as a speculative synthesis of myth and conspiracy theory.
