内容简介
Was Jesus Married? Margaret Starbirds theological beliefs were profoundly shaken when she read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a book that dared to suggest that Jesus Christ was married and that his descendents carried his bloodline to Western Europe. Shocked by such heresy, this Roman Catholic scholar set out to refute it. Instead, as she researched the subject, she found new and compelling evidence for the existence of the bride of Jesusthe same enigmatic woman who anointed him with precious unguent from her alabaster jaras well as for the hidden Church of the Grail. Starbird was becoming convinced that the wife of Jesus was indeed the Sangraal, the bearer of the holy bloodlinethe mythical chalice, the Holy Grail. This work of consummate scholarship is a detailed summary of the authors difficult and often painful quest for truth. Starbird draws her conclusions form an extensive study of history, heraldry, symbolism, medieval art, mythology, psychology, and the bible itself. This provocative book is bound to ignite conversation and controversy.
