Title: Interesting but misrepresents itself.
Review: The book is a great read. If you are into conspiracy theories at all, this book will take you for a great ride. After all, what better conspiracy theory to pursue than the idea that Jesus' ancestors are alive and influential today and that these reasearchers know who they might be? Sadly, if you are interested in scholarship, this book is a huge letdown.The theories presented are often very interesting and persuasive in the possibilities they hold. The research behind those theories is weak, though represented as more than it is. The writers themselves admit often that they don't have the information they need to make te conclusions they jump at, but right after making a caveat will make 20-30 pahes of statements presented as fact (even though it rarely is). Their research also rests primarily on one set of documents, the validity of which they cannot verify. This is better as a work of fiction than as it is presented to us.
