Description



About the Book



The Holy Grail was said to be the vessel from which Christ drank at the Last Supper, which later held some of the blood of the crucified Christ and which was brought to England by Joseph of Arimathea. Fact or fiction? The grail was later plunged into the realms of Arthurian and medieval legend and myth and remains a mystery today.



Book Synopsis



The existence of the Holy Grail has long been debated, and many of these debates focus on the intellectualized or psychological aspects of it. This work explores the events that gave rise to the legend of the Holy Grail and pays special attention to the texts that form the body of the legend, as well as historical facts about the life of Christ, the Crusades, and the fall from grace of the Knights Templar. The book examines the legitimacy of the claims made by several present-day believers and also introduces a new theory of multiple grails (and the evidence supporting this theory), which, the author believes, answers many of the otherwise unanswered questions surrounding the Holy Grail.



Review Quotes




"an exemplary place to start an exploration of the vast, mysterious world of grail lore"-Booklist; "covers considerable ground"-C&RL News.
