Margaret Starbird’s theological beliefs were profoundly shaken when she read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a book that dared to suggest that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene and that their descendants carried on his holy bloodline in Western Europe. Shocked by such heresy, this Roman Catholic scholar set out to refute it, but instead found new and compelling evidence for the existence of the bride of Jesus, the same enigmatic woman who anointed him with precious unguent from her “alabaster jar”. Her book went on to influence Dan Brown and consequently he wrote The Da Vinci Code, which put into fiction her work and the work of the Holy Blood Holy Grail authors. Here though you can read all her compelling research in detail. This book literally changed the world and has been a bestseller ever since.
