The Templar Revelation

Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince set out to investigate the historical evidence behind a heretical tradition that was suppressed by the early Church — a tradition that suggests the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and between Christianity and a much older system of religious belief, is radically different from what two thousand years of orthodoxy have maintained. Drawing on art historical evidence, Masonic ritual, and the work of writers from Leonardo da Vinci to John the Baptist, their investigation reconstructs a secret theology at the heart of the Western esoteric tradition.

Compelling and meticulously researched — essential reading for anyone interested in the history of heresy, secret societies, and the foundations of Western religious belief. Published by Corgi.
