Product Description
by Michael L. Dourson (Author)
That Jesus lived and was crucified is accepted as historical fact, but what about the resurrection? Two artifacts reputed to be Jesus's burial cloths and the only remaining physical evidence of the Crucifixion exist: The Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo. Carbon dating suggests the the Shroud is less than 1,000 years old. Other findings suggest it is much older. What is the truth? And can that truth tell us anything about the Resurrection?Written in his trademark, easy-to-read style, Michael L. Dourson skillfully weaves scripture and science in story form to make his case: the Shroud is not only real, it holds the key to the greatest mystery of the Christian religion.
