Work Description
Over the years many books have appeared about the Shroud of Turin, the possible burial cloth of Christ. This famous cloth contains the burned-in image of a man exhibiting the same wounds Christ is believed to have had as a result of his crucifixion. This was the first book ever written (orig. printed in 1902) to explore the Shroud's photographic breakthrough, showing in great detail the amazing negative image and offering scientific evidence for the potential legitimacy of the Shroud as being a relic from Christ. The mystery is considered unsolved by many people, and a lively debate continues. Therefore, it is time make this amazing book available once again for serious study, offering one the ability to relive the discovery and examine information that might otherwise be lost.
