Shroud

Is the shroud of Turin -- the linen cloth reputed to be the garment Jesus was buried in -- a medieval hoax, an occult phenomenon, a proof of Jesus' resurrection?

To answer these questions Robert K. Wilcox traveled halfway around the world interviewing sindonologists and sindonophiles (sindon is the Greek word for shroud) as well as shroud quacks, and consulting specialists in the half-dozen sciences touching upon the shroud.

Before you accept or reject Wilcox's proposed shroud theories, meet the people he interviewed, weigh the written evidence, consider the icons and mandylions, contemplate the contemporary reconstructions of the man in the shroud; then -- an only then -- will you be able to decide for your self whether the shroud of Turin is a medieval hoax, an occult phenomenon, or proof of Jesus' resurrection.
