MARY MAGDALENE Repentant prostitute?
Or a woman whose true identity could rock the foundations of Christianity?
Laurence Gardner's historical detective work in the hidden archives and lineage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene first began in his worldwide bestseller, Bloodline of the Holy Grail. The bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code has, since then, triggered a new and heated debate about the mysterious life of Magdalene. In The Magdalene Legacy, Gardner moves these themes on to extraordinary new levels:
The Grail Child - sensational new information from Vatican and monastic archives on Mary's secret marriage to Jesus and the documented persecution of their line.
The Priory of Sion - the truth about the enigmatic Order of Templars, and the underground stream that protected the sacred heritage of the messianic descendants
The Gospel of the Magdalene - the hidden records that reveal her true status among the apostles, and the forbidden texts that were edited from the Bible
The Da Vinci Connection - the real meaning behind Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, and why the Renaissance Church censored potrayals of the Magdalene.
