Title : Secrets of the holy lance. Illinois: Adventures Unlimited Press. : The spear of destiny in history & Legend Material Type: printed text Authors: Jerry E. Smith, Author ; George Piccard, Author Publisher: Illinois: Adventures Unlimited Press Publication Date: 2005 Pagination: 360 p. Layout: ill Size: 22.8 cm. Price: U.S. $16.95 General note: Here at last is an unbiased, comprehensive study of the Holy Lance—the spear reputedly used by Longinus, the Roman centurion, to pierce the side of the crucified Jesus Christ to prove He was dead. A legend arose that "whosoever possesses this Holy Lance and understands the powers it serves, holds in his hand the destiny of the world." Whether it is a holy relic or a fake, world history has repeatedly turned on the possession of this strange object.
Secrets of the Holy Lance offers a sweeping look at the history of the Spear, starting with its alleged creation in the pre-historic workshop of Tubal-Cain, seventh generation grandson of Cain, the son of Adam. The Spear is traced through the Crucifixion to its possession by Constantine (Rome's first Christian Caesar), and on to Charlemagne(who claimed that with it, he ruled the Holy Roman Empire by Divine Right), then through another thousand years of kings and emperors, until it came within Hitler's grasp! Did it then rest for a while in Antarctic ice? Is it now hidden in Europe, awaiting the next man to wield its awesome power, while a clever fake is on display at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna?
Jerry E. Smith (also the author of HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon) is a staunchly independent journalist who in this book seeks to pierce the veil of myth and mystery around the Spear. Neither debunking nor worshiping, he reveals both the occult and secular powers of this world-historic talisman. Mere belief that it was infused with magic by virtue of its shedding the Savior's blood has made men kings.
