<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Long held to be Jesus' burial garb, the Shroud of Turin has been the most fiercely guarded and oft-debated religious relic in the history of Christianity. These authors contend that the image on the shroud is not Jesus of Nazareth but Leonardo da Vinci. Photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this fully revised and updated edition, the bestselling authors of <i>The Templar Revelation</i> present new and compelling evidence linking Leonardo da Vinci with the forgery of Christianity's most famous relic.</b> <p/>For centuries the Turin Shroud was believed to be Christ's authentic burial cloth, miraculously imprinted with his image -- but in 1988 carbon dating revealed it is a medieval- or Renaissance-era forgery. However, authors Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince realized that the 1988 discovery prompted even more questions: <p/> The image seems to be a photograph -- so could the Turin Shroud actually be the world's first photograph? <p/> If the face of the man on the Shroud is not Jesus', whose is it? <p/> Who had the sheer audacity to create what would become an infamous relic of Christianity, faking even Christ's holy, redemptive blood? <p/> Whoever did this was not only a genius but also a heretic. <p/> After more than a decade of research, Picknett and Prince have accumulated evidence that shows not only was the forger of the Turin Shroud none other than Leonardo da Vinci but also that he used his own face for that of Christ. The Turin Shroud is, among other things, a five-hundred-year-old photograph of Leonardo da Vinci. Could Christianity's greatest relic in fact be an attempt to undermine the religion itself?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>If I had to name just one book that sparked off the whole da Vinci craze, this would be it.
