Reader Reviews
Brief, But GoodCheryl Leonard's The Shoud of Turnin: The Scientific Evidence is really not a book, but more of a booklet. However, the author does a good job explaining the scientific evidence for the authenticity of the Shroud in a way that is easy to understand. Color photos are used to help the reader better understand the mystery of the image on the Shroud. The book is a good way to begin a study of the Shroud.
Very detail bookCheryl Leonard does a brief description of scientific evidence to date and a good back ground on the SHROUD of TURIN . In my opinion this burial garment came from first century Palestine and with the pollen, seeds and blood stained cloth the radiation burns of the 3D image is the resurrected Jesus of Nazareth the Christ.
