sang real - sangeria - san greal

Holy Blood, Holy Grail : "a New York Times bestseller and pseudohistory ", or so says Wikipedia in its current edit. I recently finished the (revised/1996) paperback edition, and found it quite a fun read. The focus on names, blood relation and so on did get a bit tedious, but the stuff about the various "editions" of the Bible and the lacking "facts" was really well written.
How many people of so called Christian Faith have actually read all the main text, in recent translations - never mind some of the "excluded" stuff. Like the Gospel of Thomas?
Conclusion? Faith is still mainly a matter of... you guessed it: FAITH, not "facts". And i'll probably have to pick up Dan Browns books just to see what the rest of the fuss is all about!
