Synopsis
In this investigative report into the life of Jesus, Michael Baigent draws on his extensive knowledge of the large body of literature usually categorized as "arcane knowledge"--ancient wisdom, passed on in secret societies and through obscure texts, which are said to carry deep truths, and which form an alternative body of work that counters the prevailing mythologies of Western thought. Baigent comes up with a portrait of Jesus in life and death that is significantly different from that of mainstream Christianity.
Baigent's account has the feel of a mystery or thriller, as he traces his story down, first in London and then in the Middle East; his journey includes an encounter with holders of ancient texts, and he recounts his many years of excavating ancient sites. Tracing the traditions to which Jesus was exposed, Baigent places Jesus within the political and religious ferment of his time, and he challenges many key assumptions, including his divinity.
