Shroud of Turin: Between Faith and Mystery

The Enigma of a Sacred Relic Through the Centuries

A documented analysis of the Shroud of Turin—where devotion, history, and centuries-old questions meet.

For some, it is an icon of the Passion; for others, a historical and scientific enigma. Either way, the Shroud continues to speak: to the heart of believers and to the mind of seekers. This book guides readers through a clear, rigorous journey—without sensationalism—bringing sources, tradition, and research into conversation.

Inside you’ll find:

• Sources and tradition: from Gospel references to burial linens to the Shroud’s major historical milestones—balancing what is securely documented with what remains open.

• Investigations and controversies: an accessible synthesis of key studies—from STURP (1978) to radiocarbon dating and the debates that followed—so you can understand what we actually know and what is still disputed.

• Spiritual meaning: a reflection on the Shroud as an “icon of Holy Saturday,” a sign that invites meditation on the mystery of Christ without conflating faith and method.

A book for anyone who wants to approach the Shroud with respect, clarity, and depth—whether to pray, to understand, or simply to navigate the questions this cloth continues to raise.
