It was a controversial book and aroused the religious community with its message that Jesus may not have been as described in the New Testament.The book claimed that there was a whole conspiracy surrounding Jesus. When The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail came out in 1982, I remember catching a few programmes on TV at the time discussing its content. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2019
