About this title

From the Publisher

Highly endorsed by experts in religion, science, medicine
"A potent mix of science and religion,...a first-rate mystery story," says Robert B. Parker, creator of the Spenser mystery series.
"Solid medical research," says Stephen J. Camer, Chief of Surgery, New England Baptist Hospital.
"Dr. Lavoie's narrative is intriguing. The discussion of the burial rites of Judaism is informed and illuminating," Jacob Neusner, Distinguished Research Professor of Religious Studies, U. of S. Florida and Bard College.
"Reads like a first-rate mystery.... many will conclude this fascinating book asking honestly, 'Who was that man?'', John Cardinal O'Connor, Archbishop of New York.
"The book's critical approach...is excellent. Dr. Lavoie's recognition that the radiocarbon dating polemic is a question of accuracy and not precision is most prescient," Alan Adler, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, Western Connecticut State Univ.
"A secret John the apostle had to keep, and the world has to wait nearly 2000 years for it to be discovered? Before saying, 'This is too much!' read the last three chapters. This is one of the most important books of the 20th century," Walter M. Abbott, editor of The Documents of Vatican II.

From the Author

Shroud of Turin/carbon dating questionable/shroud of Jesus?
The Shroud of Turin, alleged by some to be the burial cloth of Jesus, carries the blood marks and the image of a man who has been crucified.
Why continue to pursue a subject that has been shown by carbon dating tests to be a 14th century artifact?
Please join me on a medical and scriptural search that has been my privilege to experience over these past 20 years.
Let me share with you some new objective evidence that compelled me to continue to study the shroud.
Find out why the accuracy of the carbon dating test is now in question.
From this visual experience (over 70 photographs) decide for yourself exactly what the shroud is and whether it has any meaning for you today.
