I read it and found it to be what I look for in books: an easy read, entertaining and mildly intriguing. Like Grisham's Pelican Brief.
To think that anyone actually would make any more or less of it kind of scares me - it speaks volumes about We the Sheeple! ;o)
I suggest you take a look at "The Dead Sea Conspiracy " by James K. Fitz patrick. To give you an idea of its contents I give you part of what is on the back cover:
God is dead. The Social Gospel. Liberation Theology. Neo-modernism. Massive defections from the priesthood. Deserted Convents. Teihard de Chardin.
Is there any connection? Sometimes the most tropubling questions can be asked only in a work of fiction.
What if secret archaeological evidence about the Resurrection and Aascsnsion of Jesus had been found among the Dead Sea scrolls.
What if a cabal within the most powerful order of priests in the Catholic Church [the Jesuits] was in possession of this secret.
What if Teihard deChardin was the central figure in this conspiracy.
You get the drift. But the author writes for "The Wanderer." so what we have here is pure fiction. Pure irony, here.
