The Holy Grail stories possess a mysterious power that has seized the
human imagination for centuries. They tell of a great secret finally
revealed, of surprising answers to the most profound questions, of a
hidden mystery that satisfies our deepest longings. Writers, poets,
artists, composers, and filmmakers have pursued the Grail for 1700
years. This great quest drives the legends of King Arthur, propels
Indiana Jones’ greatest adventure, and keeps us turning the pages of The Da Vinci Code.
All this makes the Holy Grail stories themselves something of a
mystery. Why have these tales captivated humankind so thoroughly and
for so long? They enthrall us, say the authors of The Grail Code,
because these stories really do touch the deepest parts of our hearts.
They are profound meditations on the human condition, showing humans at
their most heroic and most vile—pointing us toward God’s remedy for
what ails us. The Grail Code is a literary and theological
detective story that ends where the Grail legends began—in the room
where Jesus gathered his closest friends for the last time, spoke
blessed words, broke bread, and shared a sacred cup.
