The front cover stating that the book exposes the greatest cover-up in history is probably the most thought provoking statement of the entire book.
Riding on the back of the Da Vinci hoax the author tries unsuccessfully to capture some of the shock value generated by Dan Brown.

Advantages: nice front cover Disadvantages: instantly forgetable book
Well despite the author Baigent's attempts at shock with this book it really does turn out to be a very laborious read.

The author makes all sorts of unlikely claims , like discovering secret papers ( hence the books title ) and a church cover up.
Whats new here? Nothing. The dissappointing thing is that the book simply has no hook value as it tends to wander aimlessly with stories of the authors investigations from London to Jerusalem.

Riding on the back of the Da Vinci hoax the author tries unsuccessfully to capture some of the shock value generated by Dan Brown. The plot centers around a deal being struck with Pontius Pilate and Jesus in which Jesus would go through a make believe crucifixion only to be helped escape by the Romans.

The dissappointing thing is that the book simply has no hook value as it tends to wander aimlessly with stories of the authors investigations from London to Jerusalem. If you enjoyed the Da Vinci hoax then there just might be something here for you , however if you like a book that grabs your attention stay away from this one.

Review of The Jesus Papers: Exposing the Greatest Cover-up in History - Michael Baigent
What if everything you think you know about Jesus is wrong? In 'The Jesus Papers' Michael Baigent reveals the truth about Jesus's life and tackles controversial questions, such as whether or not there is incontrovertible proof that Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion. Twenty years ago Michael Baigent and his colleagues stunned the world with a controversial theory that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene married and founded a holy bloodline. His bestselling book 'The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail' (with co-authors Henry Lincoln and Richard Leigh) became an international publishing phenomenon and was one of the sources for Dan Brown's novel 'The Da Vinci Code'. Now, with two additional decades of research behind him, Baigent's 'The Jesus Papers' presents explosive new evidence that challenges everything we know about the life and death of Jesus. / Who could have aided and abetted Jesus and why? / Where could Jesus have gone after the crucifixion? / What is the truth behind the creation of the New Testament? / Who is working to keep the truth buried and why? Taking us back to sites that over the last twenty years he has meticulously explored, studied, and in some instances excavated for the first time, Baigent provides a detailed account of his groundbreaking discoveries, including many never-before-seen photos.
