“An engrossing read…. A racy tale of archaeological sins, religious bigotry, academic megalomania, misconduct and possible criminality, along with bizarre political intrigue.”

“Crystalline, well-documented… Baigent and Leigh advance startling theories that should change the way we view ancient Judaism and nascent Christianity…”

“A wonder of savage detail…The reading of the archaeological, historical and analytic-textual evidence is always ingenious.”

“Not for the theologically faint of heart.”

Michael Baigentgraduated from Canterbury University, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Richard Leighfollowed his degree from Tufts University with postgraduate studies at the University of Chicago and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Together the authors have also written Holy Blood, Holy Grail; The Messianic Legacy; and The Temple and the Lodge. Both writers live in England.
