Book Description
A curious thing happened to Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins when they published Rex Deus, their first book on the bloodline of Christ: they were contacted by a man from the very lineage they were studying. And instead of denying the existence of the bloodline or berating them for revealing secrets, he actually confirmed that the Rex Deus lineage exists and even disclosed some of its fundamental secrets. The story of the Rex Deus families, direct descendents of Christ--who is believed to have survived the crucifixion--turns out to be much more extensive than the authors first thought. Instead of beginning during the time of Jesus, it stretches far back into antiquity, to the Egyptian Mystery Schools. Instead of being only a propagation of the holy bloodline, the Rex Deus families are also carriers of the secret teachings of Jesus. Custodians of Truth reveals the purpose and secrets of the Rex Deus lineage. Jesus was not only a holy man, but an adept of ancient knowledge, which informed his own teachings. This secret knowledge was suppressed by the Church in their voracious quest for power and influence in the secular world. These teachings have manifested throughout history in different forms--Gnostic philosophy around the time of Jesus, the Order of the Knights Templar, Freemasons, and the current resurgence of interest in New Age thought. Finally, the time is right for the hidden message of Jesus to be revealed--a message of tolerance, brotherhood, and respect for nature.

 Enlightening & Informative July 28, 2008
Continuing excellent research, readable and in depth. The Custodians of Truth further examines the Rex Deus theories in detail, although the research will always challenge conventionmal religion, "Blessed is he who gains understanding".

As I have not had the opportunity to read the first book on the Rex Deus (out of print), I cannot comment, but as to this particular book, I found it quite interesting and it possibly filled in a few blanks for me or rather, another perspective concerning a scholarly paper on the Veronica or Veil of Veronica that I have been working on for the past few years and am also a Templar fan. After just visitng Chartres Cathedral and following the historic footprint of the Jewish community of Medieval days in this small city, this book was a great help in locating certain Templar and Crusade information. The labryinth inside Chartres Cathedral, also mentioned in this book is quite fascinating in itself and pretty much denied by modern clergy. Take the pilgrimage to Southern France and decide for yourself. The book is an easy read and if the reader wants to know more, my suggestion would be read more scholarly books and papers and go on the treasure hunt!
 Little new to learn June 12, 2006

Since the main tenet of the Priory of Scion as proposed in "Holy Blood Holy Grail" and novelized in "The Da Vinci Code" has been effectively discredited, I was intent on sticking to real proto-Christian scholarship like that of Bart Ehrman and Ahmed Osman, but since the authors indicated that they had a true Sang Real/Royal Blood descendant as a source implying an actual interview, I gave this book a chance. There is little detail from the interviews with "Michael" in which he was to "verify some of [the authors] allegations". He apparently did not provide the authors with any documentary evidence to support his claims. Instead the authors mostly tell us what other alternative authors got correct and incorrect, which only really amounts to more presumption and conjecture. I tried to find some means to correspond with the authors but they are as unavailable to us as their source. You can learn what these and other authors say about Rex Deus through Wikipedia.com.
Well researched book into a controversial topic April 29, 2006

I purchased this book after personally meeting the author. After reading this book, I ordered all of the other books written by Mr. Wallace-Murphy. Book is very well written, and is supported by facts. When information is not easily corroborated, author clearly states that upfront. This book will be not a pleasant reading for many people, but those who do, will gain a very valuable knowledge.

When this info was subjected to the Inquisition over and over again, it is hard to be able to "cite your sources" easily; but having made this my main topic of research for years now, I can say that this book summarizes the story of what happened to the Essenes and their gnostic branch of spirituality. And it covers enough of the scope of the story, that you begin to see why this info is so volatile to a church system that has hinged it's very existence on the dogma that "since we've concluded Jesus was a son of God and therefore synonymous with God" and "died to save you from Sin, if you'll just follow that dogma". The older spiritual systems, the ancient mysteries, that taught that we are all a part of God and the universe is multi-dimensional naturally were deemed "heretical". How sad, for a world that has always needed more toleration and love, not less!! But, thank heavens, those mystery traditions have survived, and will be seeing some great, altho always tinged with Hollywood glitz, light of day in Tom Hanks new upcoming movie about the DaVinci Code. The filming in historic Roslin Chapel, which has preserved all this history, will be great to see. Great to see the history subjected to the Inquisition over and over again coming to the surface again now in the New Age of Enlightenment, and great that the Quantum physicists are coming on board, saying the same things about our ability to participate freely in our multi-dimensional worlds!!! -- read The Yoga of Time Travel by Fred Alan Wolfe for the scientific backup of a spiritual world view!!-- that doesn't include the old "sin" stuff!! Great book here of what really happened to some of our history, ancestors, and original pythagorean teachings of spirituality, then. .
