Book Review: Introducing a little known relic from the burial of Jesus of Nazareth
Summary: 3 Stars
A petite, short paperback written by a Brit and published by a British press which serves as the earliest specific introduction of English-speakers to a supposed relic from the burial of Jesus of Nazareth. This relic is a piece of linen about the size of a face towel and was presumably used to cover the face of the expired Jesus while still on the cross and until his arrival at the burial site. Housed in the Cathedral of San Salvador in Oviedo, Spain, the so-called "Sudarium" has a more clearly traceable history than the Shroud of Turin, with the bodily fluid stains of which the stains on the Spanish relic show remarkable convergence. The book includes some illustrations, and outlines historical and scientific research on the Sudarium, discussing how this historical research casts doubt on the accuracy of the latest carbon dating of the Shroud of Turin. Written unevenly if with conviction, and with less than the best editing, it is marred by prejudicial statements against the doctrine and piety of the Roman Catholic Church, precisely the Church whose doctrine and piety has been and continues to be responsible for preserving the relics which have so engaged the author's interest and aroused his defense!
