Summary: Superior scholarship
Comment: This book stands out above the average of the genre, primarily because of the superb scholarship of Mr.Wallace-Murphy. While those looking for a quick read might miss the point because it slowly develops its case, this book is a must own for those who really need a thorough and well-documented history of gnostic and hidden philosophies and a the means of their suppression throughout modern history. It could form the basis of a provocative college course, for instance. Because it was so well researched and documented, I had no trouble believing its major premise, which I shall not spell out here for that would be unfair to the author. It contains some beautiful color illustrations of Rosslyn Chapel, but I did find myself wishing to see far more...perhaps they are included in one of Mr. Wallace-Murphy's other works. As an aside, although it is the first work of this author I have read, I have to consider him a heavyweight in the area, his credentials including a long prior association with Trevor Ravencroft. I highly recommend this to the serious student of the subject.

Summary: Zero stars
Comment: Horrendous and so derivative that I felt like I was in statistics class. Man, this was horrid. Boring, plodding, wasteful and not surprisingly, outclassed by every other book I've read in the genre--which isn't anything to brag about considering 95% of this stuff is garbage.

Summary: A pleasant book to read
Comment: Rosslyn: Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail, by Tim Wallace-Murphy & Marilyn Hopkins, would seem from its title to be a book about Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. The book, though very pleasant to read, actually gives relatively little information about the chapel or about the St. Clair family who own it. The book discusses in a somewhat general manner the esoteric tradition in western Europe, with some attention to the Knights Templar, and advances the theory that there was a pilgrimage route of initiation from Santiago de Compostela in Spain that proceeded through five sites in France and ended at Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. If you wish to read anything that you can get your hands on that alludes in any way to the Knights Templar or to the esoteric tradition in Europe, then this short volume is worth reading. I would not recommend this book to anyone seeking an introduction to the subject matter.
