Chronicle of a Quest

The Templar Revelation as reviewed at CNN.com is a story about great religious conspiracy. The reviewer, however, questions the ability of the writers to back up their claims. Their claims, the writers themselves suggest, "could shatter the foundation of the Christian Church." They rely on Gnostic Gospels, apocryphal writings and other cryptic clues to support their theories.

Although not having seen the book myself the criticism of the reviewer rings credible. After all, if one is to cast doubt on the authenticity of biblical texts by referring to what is contained in apocryphal texts, on what basis can one attest to the authenticity of the apocryphal texts? That being said, I can imagine myself thoroughly enjoying a journey through history on the pages of The Templar Revelation. It is always interesting to read alternative views on what is proclaimed as religious truth.

Just as illogical as it is that the writers suggest the apocrypha are true while the scriptures are false, it seems to me just as illogical to say that the apocrypha are false while the scriptures are true.
