Turin Shroud The Fifth Gospel A Scientific And Legal Case For The Resurrection

Today, we live in a time of images, photos, and videos that we continuously show others. Why? Because we love the person pictured. Thus, if my heavenly Father left a photo of His Son Jesus and His passion whom we love, I want to know about it and show it to others. The Shroud is one of the most scientifically investigated artifacts in the world. Numerous scientists, authors, researchers, and experts have published abundant literature. Notable figures, such as Rogers, Habermas, Jackson, Rucker, Whanger, Antonacci, Schwortz, and many more, have contributed to the ongoing dialogue. This book merges the phenomenal works of these experts with the scriptures, historical and physical evidence to create a comprehensive narrative. For example, What supernatural timing of three events confirms the exact date of Jesus' death? What prophet predicted that exact date? What ancient prophecy is only confirmed in the Shroud? How does the Shroud confirm Jesus' body left the tomb in three days? I hope to provide a deeper understanding of the Shroud by presenting a unified story incorporating all available evidence, adding power to your faith and its relevance in today's world.

August 2000 marked an unusual event in history: the new millennium's first public exhibition of the Holy Shroud of Turin. Only the fifth exhibition since 1898 and commemorating the Jubilee anniversary of the birth of Jesus, the event in Italy attracted millions of people world-wide. In this book Mark Antonacci scientifically challenges earlier radiocarbon testing and presents new evidence in determining the Shroud's true age. In addition, he provides the first scientific explanation and demonstration of the cause of the image of the man on the Shroud. Despite centuries of efforts from people of different backgrounds throughout the world, this extraordinary image has never been adequately explained -- until now. Based on extensive research of both the author's twenty years of analysis and the findings of scientists commissioned by the author, this work provides scientific and concrete evidence that The Shroud of Turin was indeed used to wrap the body of the historical Jesus Christ.

Is the Turin Shroud really a fake, or was there an ulterior motive for having it declared as such? This book reconstructs the circumstances surrounding both the Crucifixion and the carbon-dating to arrive at the conclusion that Jesus must still have been alive when he was laid in the tomb. It also claims that the results of the scientific tests were somehow manipulated in order to maintain the tradition, central to the doctrine of the Church, that Jesus died on the Cross.

The Turin Shroud is it ... a fraud, a mystery, the witness of a miracle? Bit by bit, the investigation into the Turin Shroud becomes an explosive historical controversy. Medical examiners say that the man under the shroud must have still been alive! Was it Jesus, who survived his crucifixion? This would turn the resurrection into a matter of science, not only faith. This book presents scientific evidence so you can decide for yourself whether Christians will have to confront the idea that some of their central beliefs have no historical basis. Christianity beyond sacrificial death and supernatural resurrection is not its end but the dawn of a new beginning. This is the message of this book. A radical book for spiritual pioneers.

The Three Cloths of Christ: The Emerging Treasures of Christianity is an up-to-date (2010) scientific and historical study of three cloths revered in Christianity: The Holy Shroud of Turin; the Sudarium Christi (Face Cloth folded to one side in the Tomb) and the legendary Veronica Veil with the imprinted face of Jesus. The author, a student of the Holy Shroud for 32 years, provides a detailed evaluation in support of the authenticity of these cloths. A great reference work with comprehensive Author and Subject Index and Bibliography. Illustrated with 15 pages of Photos. A must read for modern information on the three cloths.

Relying on new scientific research, the author presents a detailed argument that the Shroud of Turin belonged to Jesus.
