Summary: 5 Stars
Ian Wilson organizes and presents past and present information about the famed Shroud of Turin in The Blood and the Shroud: New Evidence That the World's Most Sacred Relic Is Real. When a carbon-14 in the past decade seemed to eradicate claims that the Shroud of Turin, the possible burial cloth of Jesus Christ, was old enough to qualify as such, even though impressive evidence existed aside from the Carbon-14 dating, such as the presence of pollen from plants only found in the Holy Land, and the inexplicably unique and anatomically accurate details with which the Shroud seemed to have been somehow imprinted. Only recently was it discovered that carbon particles from a fire in the Middle Ages penetrated the Shroud and were counted by the Carbon-14 test procedure, making the Shroud appear to be far younger than it actually was. The question of the Shroud's authenticity is now, once again, wide open: is this remarkable relic a link with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, or is it one of history's most brilliantly conceived hoaxes? As an anthropologist and linguist interested in medically-related forensics, such as the circumstances that could have produced the physical image of a tortured and deceased Jewish young male on this ancient cloth, I found this book a useful addition to the serious sindonologist's compendium. The book needs more illustrations, in my opinion, but the latest evidence and opinions are all under one cover in Wilson's reverently but accurately presented materials. Judge for yourself!
