“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.”
