The Turin Shroud

London England: Victor Gollancz. Hardback. Foxing to top edge. Wear to edges of cloth. In the book's first part the author draws together all the fascinating historical and scientific threads. Then in the second half he provides the reader with his own ingenious and persuasive explanation of what might have been the Shroud's fate in the thirteen centuries unaccounted for in its official history. In the autumn of 1978 scientists and theologians from all over the world will meet in Turin hoping to settle the enigma once and for all. Ina Wilson will be among them. Having already seen and touched the Shroud he has no doubt of its power. Eleven years ago when he began his research he was an agnostic. Today he is a practising Roman Catholic. An Oxford history graduate, his own belief in the Shourd's authenticity is backed by years of patient research. Readers of his book will be unable to dismiss and even less to put down his findings. Illustrated. 272 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .
