    About this ebook

    After a New Jersey priest has a near-death experience he begins to resemble the image depicted on the Shroud of Turin, prompting a skeptical Vatican representative to investigate the claim and subsequently question the assumptions he has held for so long.

    THE PRIEST…

    Brought back to life on an operating room table, Father Paul Bartholomew is haunted by visions of Christ as Golgotha. Then, as he celebrates Mass, blood starts running down his arms. The horrified congregation watches him collapse, his vestments soaked in the blood pouring from wounds on his wrists. Mysteriously, he now resembles in almost every physical aspect the Christ-like figure represented on the Shroud of Turin.

    THE SKEPTICS…

    Worried lest Bartholomew’s case be proved a hoax, the Vatican employs two prominent scientists to investigate. Dr. Stephen Castle, an American psychiatrist, is renowned for his book arguing that religion is a figment of human imagination. Professor Marco Gabrielli, an Italian religious researcher and chemist, has made a career of debunking supposed miracles, of explaining the unexplainable.

    THE MIRACLE…

    For centuries, the Shroud of Turin has defied science. Is this ancient remnant truly Christ’s burial cloth, or the biggest fraud ever perpetrated? When the priest’s uncanny resemblance to the picture on the Shroud prompts Castle and Gabrielli to investigate the artifact itself, each is finally forced to face mysteries reason alone cannot explain—in a journey of discovery that plumbs the farthest reaches of science and the human spirit.

      When Fr. Bartholomew begins to show the stigmata of Christ, he becomes a revered individual. The world watches him closely. His story is told over and over.A near-death experience, and a promise of deciphering the shroud codex, brings Fr. Bartholomew back to this life.A well written book, full of intrigue and mystery. I read this through in a single day, simply not able to put it down. But then, the Shroud of Turin has always held strong fascination for me, so this fun read held me fast!It helped that I am a fan of Corsi's investigative writing as well!I highly recommend this read to anyone who enjoys a good fictional read that is very loosely based on fact.I give this book five stars and a big thumbs up!****DISCLOSURE: This book was a private purchase, and as such I was under no obligation for reviewing it. All opinions in this post are my own and under no obligation.

      This was a great read. I enjoyed the storyline and house closely referenced the different stages of the Crucifixion. I would recommend this book to others to read.
    • 2/5
      A sort of techno-mystery with religious and spiritual overtones, in which a priest returns from a near-death experience convinced that God has given him a mission to reveal to mankind the secret message encrypted in the Shroud of Turin. He begins to manifest the wounds Jesus suffered during the Passion, and even comes to physically resemble the man depicted by the Shroud. There is a fairly intriguing conclusion that reminds me of Arthur C. Clarke's saying, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" (I have always mentally substituted the word "God" here). But the writing is bland, the dialogue reminds me of the two detectives in "Dragnet", and the conclusion lacks any kind of definitive revelation. And I suppose I shouldn't hold this against him, but I found in the author's blurb that he is the author of some pretty far right-wing political books, including the truly slimy Swift Boat Veterans smear of John Kerry.
