Title
The Only Witness: A History of the Shroud Of Turin - Paperback
by Guy R. Powell (Author)
Jesus' burial cloth could be the most important Christian relic. Men and women risked their lives to save it - and destroy it. Can it survive war, famine, plagues, and earthquakes? Lives, reputations, and fortunes are on the line in this powerful and fast-paced Christian historical fiction. Intrigue and action, mystery, and suspense are woven throughout the book spanning 14 stories, three continents, and two millennia. Is the Shroud of Turin the only witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Let this story help you decide.
This Christian historical fiction, The Only Witness, seamlessly blends historical events with a gripping plot, offering a thrilling and introspective reading experience. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a fan of ancient mysteries, or a seeker of spiritual growth, this novel will captivate your imagination and leave you pondering the secrets at the heart of the Shroud of Turin. It will make you think: "Is the Shroud of Turin real, or is it a 13th-century fake?" Scientists, theologians, and even Christians can't agree. Whichever side of the controversy you're on, you'll love this story of a possible - yet plausible - history of the Shroud of Turin in The Only Witness. If you're Christian or Jewish, you know Jesus was crucified and buried. If you're a Christian, you know there was a resurrection. But what happened to the burial cloth? Was there a cloth that witnessed that transformative moment of resurrection? Does it reflect the four Gospels of the Bible?
If it was a witness, was it simply thrown away, or was it revered as the most critical relic in human existence? Guy R. Powell, in his book, The Only Witness: A History of the Shroud of Turin, has taken facts, historical context, and hypotheses to write a compelling historical fiction of how the burial cloth of Jesus Christ travels from Golgotha in Jerusalem, through the Roman Empire, through Byzantium, through Europe and how it lands in Turin, Italy. This Shroud of Turin has survived fires, wars, plagues, and floods to become the most valuable Christian relic. Or is it the most worthless fake?
