The Sign: The Shroud of Turin and the Secret of the Resurrection
Autor Thomas de Wesselowen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2013
'The thinking man's Dan Brown' Sunday Times
How did Christianity really begin?
In this powerful and controversial book, art historian Thomas de Wesselow reveals that the answer to this puzzle lies in one of the most mysterious images in the world - the Shroud of Turin.
Re-examining the Shroud and New Testament texts, he argues that the traditional Christian view - that the apostles were inspired by seeing Jesus raised from the dead - is a profound misconception.
Using scientific, archaeological and historical evidence,The Signdemonstrates that the Shroud is the actual burial-cloth of Jesus. That haunting image - which is a natural stain - holds the key to the greatest mystery in human history.
This astonishing book will appeal to readers around the world and is a must for fans ofThe God Delusionby Richard Dawkins,Infernoby Dan Brown and Diarmaid MacCulloch'sA History of Christianity.

A

the
Easter
story
Overturning 2,000 years of received biblical wisdom is no small matter. Consequently [this] book encompasses an impressive amount of scholarship and scientific examination. Persuasive... a very intriguing explanation
Thorough, well-researched and fair-minded... Persuasive... much more than just an addition to the canon of Shroud literature
Fascinating...startling
