Books on The Shroud or Turin

Noted archaeologist and Shroud scholar William Meacham gives a frank and often critical accounting of what he calls "...the 'desecration' of the Shroud of Turin due to serious errors in its study and conservation. It is the story of how this relic, once the subject of worldwide curiosity and awe, with its haunting and still unexplained image of Christ, came to be wrongly dismissed as a medieval fake by the general public. And how it recently suffered major damage in an ill-advised and secretly executed "restoration" conducted for cosmetic and misguided conservation purposes." From its provocative title to its stinging criticisms of the Shroud's custodians, this book was sure to spark controversy and reveal a side of sindonology seldom seen by the public.
