Neste livro, o autor faz revelações sobre a História de Jesus - ele não foi crucificado; era um líder político interessado no poder; e, bom de retórica, redigiu do próprio punho sua defesa diante do Tribunal Romano. Baigent se baseia em um documento jurídico romano, de 45 depois de Cristo, em que um certo Jesus ben Josef, imigrante da Galileia e proprietário de terras condenado por Pôncio Pilatos, faz declarações surpreendentes a respeito de sua natureza divina.
O que pensar diante da descoberta de um documento jurídico romano, de 45 depois de Cristo, em que um certo Jesus ben Josef, imigrante da Galiléia e proprietário de terras condenado por Pondo Pilatos, faz declarações surpreendentes a respeito de sua natureza divina? Será que tudo o que sabemos sobre Jesus está errado? Será que a biografia do símbolo maior do imaginário ocidental é muito mais ampla do que nos fazem acreditar? Em Os manuscritos De Jesus, Michael Baigent, um dos autores do consagrado O Santo Graal e a linhagem sagrada, faz revelações impressionantes sobre a vida e a crucificação desse homem que marcou a história do Ocidente. Apesar da celebração e veneração seculares ao redor da figura de Jesus, Baigent assegura que a sua trajetória de vida e as circunstâncias que o levar… (mer)

Jesús no murió en la cruz. Se casó con Magdalena y su descendencia perdura hasta nuestros días. Estas sorprendentes revelaciones y muchas otras relacionadas con temas como el Evangelio, los templarios y el Grial son algunas de las revolucionarias conclusiones de esta polémica obra. En sus páginas, los investigadores Lincoln, Baigent y Leigh plasman los resultados de años de ardua labor de investigación. Pergaminos cifrados, sociedades secretas, caballeros templarios e historias sobre herejes cátaros y un antiguo linaje real francés, dibujan una nueva versión del origen del cristianismo y la identidad tanto del propio Jesucristo como de sus descendientes.… (mer)

Po šokujúcich odhaleniach v Svätej krvi a svätom gráli autori zistili, že ak sa chcú pokúsiť vysvetliť diskrepanciu medzi starým a moderným kresťanským myslením, musia si položiť tieto otázky: Existoval na začiatku nášho letopočtu aj niekto iný, nemenej významný, ako Kristus? Bol Kristus zakladateľom kresťanstva? Boli Kristovi učedníci takí mierumilovní, ako sa traduje? Jestvovali prepojenia medzi Vatikánom, CIA, KGB, mafiou, slobodomurárstvom, organizáciami typu P2, Opus Dei a novodobými templármi? Čo mysteriózne spája britský priemysel, Churchilla a de Gaulla, EHS a Solidaritu?
Mesiášov odkaz prináša nové ohromujúce pátrania v tajomnej komunite „Sionského priorstva“ – „strážcov svätého grálu“, na ktoré sa autori podujali, keď objavili utajované súvislosti politiky, financií, slobodomurárstva a náboženstva pod solídnym a konzervatívnym výzorom európskych inštitúcií.
Globálna konšpirácia dezinformácií, ktorú odkryli, potvrdzuje, že kniha Mesiášov odkaz je ten najsúčasnejší thriller a najsúčasnejšie biblické bádanie, ktoré je ešte pútavejšie ako Svätá krv a svätý grál.
