El segundo Mesías. Los Templarios, La Sábana Santa… di Christopher Knight
Libro de ensayo muy interesante por la intención de apertura de miras hacia el interior de los cimientos de la Iglesia Católica y el cristianismo combinado con la masonería, el judaísmo y la Orden Templaria junto al Rex Deus. Pretende arrojar luz sobre los orígenes de la secta cristiana con su primer mesías y lo equipara a la posible llegada del segundo mesías, Jacques de Molay. Enormemente revelador el análisis científico sobre la Sindone. Esperando las excavaciones de Rosslin, ¡ya!
I read this years ago, before Dan Brown and the Davinci Code phenom. I was shocked that the authors of this book lost the plagiarism lawsuite against Dan Brown. Seemed to me that Brown stole everything from this book.
I need to revisit this book. There was a lot to like about it, though as I recall, there were also some points that were hard to accept.

I loved this book. I have no idea whether anything that the authors claim is true or even accurately researched, but it reads well and the ideas are largely plausible. I'm certain that Dan Brown derived a lot of his material from this book. But most essentially it is a gripping yarn.
I also have a soft spot for this book as I was reading it in conjunction with Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, which is not only an extremely concise and informative text on the Abrahamic cults, sects and religious orders since time immemorial but also the greatest piss-take thereof. So yes, I would recommend Hiram Key, but do yourself a favour, and if you have the patience, and read Foucault's Pendulum.… (altro)

I love ideas that involve thinking outside the box. Ergo, I have a soft spot for alternative history, especially that involving religion, secret societies, and events beyond the canon of history we are taught in school.
Therefore, I found this book to be an interesting and plausible account of the history and origins of Freemasonry. However, there is very little in the way of serious scholarship here -- no citing of sources, no bibliography, and some of the leaps they take and the connections they make are giant steps indeed.
So, the book is entertaining, plausible as far as it goes, but unless some further discovery is made, still extremely speculative.… (altro)
