A front seat ride on a true crime investigation. This book sorts through the controversies, scientific investigations, and even pulls in NASA to get to the bottom of the death of Jesus.
How do you investigate the greatest crime in history? A murder that occurred over 2,000 years ago? Robert Orlando, Catholic Filmmaker and author, sets out to do just that - to get to the bottom of the death of Jesus by working through the evidence like a detective.
"The murder of Jesus of Nazareth, a carpenter from a small town outside Jerusalem, became the most historically debated crime scene in all recorded history," Orlando explains. "Not only do people debate the historicity of the event, but unlike most other crime scenes, there's a religious element. The murder of this simple carpenter ends up launching the largest, most widespread religion of modern times."
When Orlando was first approached about making a documentary about the Shroud of Turin, he was skeptical of the project—and the Shroud itself. Then he came across conflicting opinions in history and science. This, along with his desire to learn more about the life of Jesus and make sense about the final things, led him to investigate the death of Jesus as "a new crime scene," starting with the Shroud of Turin.
Through his scholarly research and his detective work, Orlando fascinatingly connects historical, archaeological, scientific, art, and theological research to unveil:
-
Evidence that dates back to the time and place of Christ
-
The results of a startling NASA study and leading scientists' research
-
A biblical clue to where the Shroud may have been hidden
-
What Jesus really experienced according to science, history, and Scripture
-
A miraculous healing from the Shroud following the Resurrection
In the book, Orlando breaks open the mysterious discovery of the Shroud. He lays out numerous opinions and fact-based arguments, and systematically separates fact from fiction, raising the question: Is the Shroud the scientific evidence for faith?
