About this title

Synopsis

By focusing on the fragment of the Titulus Crucis, the inscribed headboard from Christ's cross, the authors challenge the modern view that all supposedly holy relics are fakes by providing evidence that weaves together history, archaeology, myth, religion, and science, taking readers on a fascinating tour through the ancient world that might change their beliefs forever.

Review

"Revisionist history...that's interesting, well-made, and should attract much attention." --"Kirkus Reviews" "Fascinating...such a study as this is long overdue, scrupulously executed and will grip the imagination of believer and non-believer alike." --"Daily Mail" "The implications are momentous...A pleasure to read. Thiede and d'Ancona deserve the wide audience this courageous book will enjoy." --"Daily "Telegraph "This is a totally absorbing book." --"Spectator"
