<blockquote> <p> What if everything we have been told about the origins of Christianity is a lie? </p> <p> What if a small group had always known the truth and had kept it hidden . . . until now? </p> <p> What if there is evidence that Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion? </p> </blockquote> <p> In <i>Holy Blood, Holy Grail</i> Michael Baigent and his co-authors Henry Lincoln and Richard Leigh stunned the world with a controversial theory that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene married and founded a holy bloodline. The book became an international publishing phenomenon and was one of the sources for Dan Brown's novel <i>The Da Vinci Code</i>. Now, with two additional decades of research behind him, Baigent's <i>The Jesus Papers</i> presents explosive new evidence that challenges everything we know about the life and death of Jesus. </p>
