Hello:

Our patron remembers a novel she believes is called _The Blood and the
Cross_ published about 10 years ago. The story is about the crucifixion of
Jesus: how he survived, went East and married Mary Magdalene.

We suggested _Cross and Crown_ but the patron says this is not the one she
has in mind.

Amazon and B&N have a _Blood OF the Cross_ by Andrew Murray but they don't
provide any annotations so we're not sure if this might be the answer.

Have any of you read the Murray title? Is it the one we're looking for, or
can we rule it out? Can you think of any other possibilities?

As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

--Christine

If I remember correctly, it is Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael
Baigent,Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln. My catalog is showing me that
it was published in 1982. Interesting book, btw :).

It's not Andrew Murray. He was a preacher South Africa, I think, at the turn of the century. His books, many of which have been rewritten in "modern" language, are non-fiction Christian books. (He is one of my favorite devotional authors--in the unmodern language.)

I think the book you are looking for is entitled:
Holy blood; holy grail.
The authors are Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, published by Delacorte in
1982. It is not a novel, but non-fiction. The authors also contend there was
a Knights Templar connection with the crucifixion. I just tried to order it
from Dell, but I think it may be out-of-print.

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!
