[...] This book is the story of new discoveries about the Shroud. It is a story written not so much for those who believe in Christ, but for those who do not believe. Many of the things that will be developed here will appear strange and often misleading. However, what we ask of the reader is to study the book step by step and without prejudice. Because if Jesus did indeed leave behind the fabric that we now know as the "Shroud of Turin," then it presents a unique testimony to his existence, his Passion, and perhaps even his Resurrection. However, it is difficult for us to say that Jesus made the authenticity of the Shroud evident or simply the story that it tells us, in a way that is understandable to everyone.
