The Silver Chalice is a 1952 English language historical novel by Thomas B. Costain. It is the fictional story of the making of a silver chalice to hold the Holy Grail (itself here conflated with the Holy Chalice) and includes 1st century biblical and historical figures: Luke, Joseph of Arimathea, Simon Magus and his companion Helena, and the apostle Peter.
The story was inspired by the archeological discovery of a 1st-century silver chalice in Antioch (see Antioch Chalice).[1] It is in effect a prequel to the Arthurian Legend, where the search for the Holy Grail plays a conspicuous part.
Two years after its publication, Warner Bros. released a feature adaptation of the book. The film starred Paul Newman, in his first studio role, as Basil the craftsman.
First published in 1952, this classic recounts the story of Basil, a young silversmith, who is commissioned by Luke the Evangelist, a disciple of Christ and biographer of the Apostle Paul, to fashion a holder for the cup Jesus used at the Last Supper.
The Silver Chalice was a top best-selling fiction title of 1953 in the United States, atop The New York Times Best Seller list from September 7, 1952 to March 8, 1953, and remaining 64 weeks on the list until October 25, 1953.
