After the shocking revelations of "The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail" the authors, in their quest to determine the discrepancies between early and modern 'Christian' thought, found that they were forced to ask such questions as: Was there more than one Christ? Was Christ the founder of Christianity? Were the disciples as peace-loving as it is traditionally assumed? What links the Vatican, the CIA, the KGB, the Mafia, Freemasonry, P2, Opus Dei and the Knights Templar?
