This book is fascinating. As a descendant of the Merovingian bloodline via Charlemagne who was shocked to discover that there was a theory that the Merovingians were descended from Christ and the Magdalen, and also a Christian, not to mention as a descendant of King Philip IV of France who persecuted the Knights Templar, I was compelled to read this book and give it a chance.
I am not convinced either way of whether this could be true or not true, but none the less the investigation by the books' three co-authors is truly compelling to me, and whether or not their theory is way off base, it has still required to me to look at history with new perspectives, and also the origins of my faith with new perspectives.
The book is interesting enough that now I want to read more about not just my Merovingian and Capetian ancestors, but also the Knights Templar, the Freemasons, and early Christianity (from an academic perspective).
The subject matter is extremely interesting, and I recommend it to anyone who may find any of this players in the mystery to be compelling to them.
