505 0 $aPreface : the ancient mystery and the real presence 1 Which our enterprise begins with a question and an answer 1 2 Which reveals the true origin of the holy cup 7 3 In which we seek the holy cup and find the Eucharist 15 4 Which introduces the Paragon of Christian Knighthood, Joseph of Arimathea 25 5 In which we seek the King Arthur of history and find instead a moral principle 31 6 In which King Arthur and his best knights set off on a quest for a magical cauldron or grail; with observations on grace and nature 51 7 In which a longing for a lost paradise leads to the rise of medieval civilization 59 8 In which the world goes mad for love 79 9 In which we go looking for love and find the grail 95 10 Which takes us into the shadowy wood where allegories lurk unseen 113 11 In which the unfinished story of the grail tempts many a writer to take up his pen 121 12 In which the mysterious Master Walter Map begins to weave a grand allegory of sin and redemption 129 13 The genesis of Lancelot; or, the history of a perfect worldly knight 135 14 The entrance of Galahad; or, the history of a perfect spiritual knight 143 15 In which a rash vow begins a quest for the deep secrets and confidences of our Lord 151 16 The world turned upside down 159 17 The sorrow of Lancelot; or, the conversion of a worldly knight 167 18 In which sin destroys the world, but the repentant sinner is saved 175 19 In which the decline of medieval civilization finds its mirror in the decline of romantic allegory 185 20 In which the long-dormant grail revives and goes looking for something to fill it 199 21 The longing fulfilled; or, the end of the quest 213 Afterword -- the antidote to grail nonsense.
520 $aThe Holy Grail stories possess a mysterious power that has seized the human imagination for centuries. They tell of a great secret finally revealed, of a surprising answer 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 1,700 years. The great quest drives the legends of King Arthur, propels Indiana Jones's greatest adventure, and keeps many people turning the pages of The.
520 8 $aThese tales of quests and miracles and of honor and betrayal have captivated humankind for so long, say the authors of The Grail Code, because the stories really do touch the deepest parts of our hearts. They reveal our innate yearning to know Christ, to be in communion with the Divine. What we've lost in the pop-culture transformations of the Grail is what made it holy in the first place: the intimate link with the Eucharist.
520 8 $aThe Grail Code is a literary and theological detective story, centuries in the making, 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. Book jacket.
