Christopher Davis's Blog

"How the Grail Became Holy" has recently been read and reviewed by a former professor at William & Mary who taught a course on the subject of the Holy Grail. I feel both humbled by his scholarly praise, and validated that my work has passed its first true test of academic scrutiny.
