Is the Shroud of Turin the actual burial cloth that once wrapped the corpse of Jesus? If it is, why were the Gospel writers silent about its mysterious, full-body image? Might there actually be cryptic references to the image within the New Testament that have gone unnoticed until now? And if there are such references, why are they cryptic?

What has science discovered about the image on the Shroud? And are there historical references or artifacts associated with the Shroud outside the biblical canon from the period of the early Church? Those important and intriguing questions are addressed by this book.

The significance of this work is monumental, both with regard to New Testament studies and with regard to our understanding of the Shroud of Turin! The book?s focus?that hidden or cryptic statements concerning the Shroud and its incredible image actually exist within the Bible?is a game changer with respect to (1) "the quest for the historical Jesus," (2) the existence of biblical evidence supporting the authenticity of the Turin Shroud, and (3) the believer?s assurance of personal resurrection and eternal life!
