Book Overview
Religious relics, defined as "either portions of or objects connected with the body of a saint or other holy person," are among the most revered items in the world. Christian relics such as the Holy Grail, the True Cross, and the Lance of Longinus are also the source of limitless controversy. Such items have incited people to bloodshed and, some say, have been a source of miracles. Relics inspire fear and hope among the faithful and yet are a perennial target for skeptics, both secular and Chris

Joe Nickell Always Gets It Right
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
He's so fair and thoughtful and willing to look at the evidence carefully. He doesn't just say,"This can't be," but says,"Really? Ok, let's check it out..." Of course he finds nothing, which should surprise neither secularists (who always suspected it was fiction) or believers (evidence doesn't matter to the truly faithful). And no, there's no good evidence that the so-called "Shroud of Turin" is anything other than what it looks like: an interesting medieval period painting.
