Books on The Shroud or Turin

The Sign - The Shroud of Turin and the Secret of the Resurrection
Author: Thomas de Wesselow
ISBN: 978-0-670-92187-4

As soon as the book was released it sparked controversy in the Shroud world. It was considered a great addition to Shroud knowledge in that de Wesselow truly is a medieval art expert, so his professional opinions are valuable. However, he also addressed a much more sensitive theological issue. Here is another quote from the book's website: "Christianity began when, after Jesus’s crucifixion, Jesus’s followers claimed to have seen him alive again. De Wesselow shows that this episode can only be understood if what they actually saw was something real but out of the ordinary, something so extraordinary that they interpreted it as a sign of resurrection. What they saw was the Shroud." Needless to say, this idea challenged the beliefs of many people and generated a strong media interest which in turn created a lot of buzz on the blogs.
