Apologie pour le Suaire de Turin par deux scientifiques non croyants by André Cherpillod and Serge Mouraviev
(Vindication for the Turin Shroud by Two Non-Believing Scientists)
This is the first book ever written by non-believers demonstrating the authenticity of the Turin Shroud and explaining its images. Part One is an updated, somewhat enlarged and colorfully illustrated edition of Cherpillod's book, "L'Impossible Objet" (see Ian Wilson's review in the BSTS Newsletter 1997).
Part Two is a detailed description of Mouraviev's theory as published in "Applied Optics" vol. 36, no. 34, 1 December 1997, p. 8976-8981, which concludes that both images on the Shroud are caused by the natural and accidental interaction of solar rays and the spices used to anoint the body.
Part Three deals with the modern scientific, epistemological, philosophical and ethical implications of the authenticity of the Shroud.

The Blood and the Shroud: New Evidence that the World's Most Sacred Relic is Real (Available from Amazon.com) by Ian Wilson, author of the 1978 bestselling book, "The Shroud of Turin." In this book, he presents new scientific evidence that challenges the 1988 carbon dating and other arguments against the authenticity of the Shroud. Current studies, presented here by Wilson, have reversed the views of many people in the scientific and religious communities. As stated in the book's brochure:
The discovery of human blood on the Shroud has ignited much of the new controversy. If the Shroud can be authenticated, as Wilson contends, then DNA testing of the blood would reveal a hitherto unimaginable amount of information about the body it once contained. Ironically, while the Church might be expected to be pleased with supportive findings that the image on the Shroud cannot be the result of a "cunning painting" as some have suggested, that is not altogether the case. Eighteen months ago, Cardinal Saldarini of Turin, the Pope's official custodian of the Shroud, formally requested the return of all Shroud samples on which any scientific work might be done.
Although the Texas scientists who have tested the blood samples for the presence of human DNA have insisted that they have insufficient DNA to determine parentage, for example, and still less for the many of any science-fiction-type 'clone' of Jesus, the Vatican authorities appear to be taking no chances.
Clearly, the significance of any such DNA testing results hinges largely on the authenticity of the Shroud itself. Wilson describes the research that will play a critical role in this debate. In The Blood and the Shroud, he introduces information that points to the authenticity of the Shroud.Hardcover, 320 pages

The Crucifixion of Jesus: A Forensic Inquiry (Available from Amazon.com) by Frederick T. Zugibe (previously titled "The Cross and the Shroud").
Dr. Zugibe retired in 2004 after 34 years as the Medical Examiner of Rockland County, New York. His 50+ year in-depth research into the Shroud of Turin and the effects of crucifixion on the human body has made him the acknowledged forensic expert on the subject. In this long awaited update to his first book, The Cross and the Shroud, originally published in 1982, Dr. Zugibe challenges the conclusions of Dr. Pierre Barbet, the first researcher to evaluate the image on the Shroud from a medical point of view (See "A Doctor at Calvary" below). Although he and Barbet agree on the authenticity issue, they disagree on the specific pathology of crucifixion, particularly as evidenced on the Shroud. In this newly updated edition, Dr. Zugibe reviews all of the forensic evidence, including his latest research and the evidence supporting his theory that the Man of the Shroud was washed before being wrapped in the cloth. He also provides a detailed and up-to-the-minute overview of the most current research being done by other Shroud scientists (including Ray Rogers).

The DNA of God? (Available from Amazon.com) by Dr. Leoncio A. Garza-Valdes with an introduction by Ian Wilson
In 1988, radiocarbon dating showed that the Shroud of Turin could not be from the time of Jesus but was of a more recent origin. What scientists did not know at that time is that an organic "bioplastic coating" is created over time on ancient textiles, including the Shroud itself. The author claims that this coating, which he first discovered on Mayan artifacts, so distorts the carbon dating process that objects such as the Shroud are actually significantly older than they were thought to be.
Many in the scientific community have hailed Dr. Garza-Valdes' findings as significant for archaeologists around the world. For those interested in the mysterious history of the Shroud, it may again be possible to regard it as orginating in the first century. This book is the fascinating story of Garza-Valdes' journey of discovery and the secrets he may have uncovered about the Shroud of Turin.

A Doctor at Calvary ("Back Ordered" Amazon.com) by Dr. Pierre Barbet, a classic in Shroud Literature, is available in a hardcover edition. An ad in the August 11, 1997 issue of National Review (pg. 23) says the following:
What the Gospels don't reveal about Christ's sufferings, science does.
The results of a renowned surgeon's unprecedented research into the physical sufferings of Our Lord--about which the Gospels reveal only the barest essentials--are collected in this mind-opening book. Dr. Pierre Barbet, writing in the early 1950s, relied heavily on his close analysis of the Shroud of Turin to re-create every stage of the Passion with precision and detail. The result: a minor classic of spirituality--by a layman. Back in print after 40 years, the book discusses, among much...
- *The painful hemorrhaging phenomenon which corresponds to Jesus' sweating "drops of blood"
- *Evidence that Christ received more than the customary number of blows during the scourging
- *The "flagrum" used for scourging
- *The crown of thorns: more like a cap cutting into the head at very part
- *Did Christ simply drag the Cross to Calvary, as is typically depicted? Evidence suggests otherwise
- *Countless medically accurate details on the Shroud that no medieval artist could have forged, or even know about
- *Were Christ's feet nailed separately, or one over the other?
- *Why his violent thirst?
- *The determining cause of Christ's death: asphyxia after prolonged struggle

The Double Images On The Shroud Of Turin: A Medical Inquiry Into The Crucifixion by Nicolo Cinquemani, originally published by Edizioni Giovinezza, Rome, Italy, 1995, this is a revised 1997 edition.
This book, published in both English and Italian editions, presents the theory that there is a double image on the Shroud of Turin. One caused by "...blood clots showing the position of the body in the hours immediately after death..." and the other "... due to dehydration and oxidation of the cellulose caused by radiation."

Judgement Day for the Turin Shroud (Special Order from Amazon.com) by Walter McCrone, noted Shroud researcher and founder of the McCrone Research Institute, is now available.
"In nearly 350 pages with 11 color plates and 68 figures, Dr. McCrone covers the details of Shroud research since 1969. He emphasizes the work he did, contrasts it with the STURP approach, and details the reaction of the Catholic Church through his long correspondence with Father Peter Rinaldi in Turin. Dr. McCrone's conclusion, in a nutshell, is that the "Shroud" is a beautiful painting consisting only of red ochre, vermillion and collagen tempera applied by a talented artist in 1355. There is no blood on the "Shroud"."

La Gran Alianza Cristico-Científica by Anna Ferrer Iñareta
In this Spanish language book, author Anna Ferrer discusses the need to join science and religion in the study of the Shroud. She concentrates on gathering and relating all the proofs that scientific research have given us, from the first photographic negative to the latest proof modern techniques allow. She sites the work of Dr. Rinaldo, biophysicist of the Nuclear Medicine Services of Montpellier, who studied the effects of proton irradiation on linen cloth. He observed images with analogous nature to the Shroud and concluded that neutron irradiation artificially increased the amount of radioactive carbon, thereby explaining the carbon date obtained in 1988. The relationship between Dr. Rinaldo's results and the earlier theories that the formation of the image seemed to be caused by a burst of radiation from the body itself, leads the author to conclude that nuclear decay was produced releasing protons that would imprint the image on the linen and neutrons that would increase the amount of C-14. She concludes that we can explain the event called "The Jesus Christ Resurrection" as a quantic phenomenon. The book is available for US$11.00 plus US$1.00 shipping charges directly from:

La Sainte Tunique D'Argenteuil Face A La Science (The Holy Tunic of Argenteuil - Face To Science ) Edited by Francois-Xavier de Guibert
This book is the printed proceedings of the international colloquium of the same title, held on November 12th, 2005, at Argenteuil near Paris, France. The conference was organized by the study group COSTA (UNEC), Argenteuil. In the book, 15 authors explain their views on the Holy Tunics of Christ, basically the one conserved since the year 800 at Argenteuil, but also the one conserved in Georgia/Caucasus.
The book has a foreword by John Jackson. One chapter also deals with the up-to-date situation of the Holy Shroud face to Science by Marcel Alonso of Cielt. Another very interesting paper (of 70 pages) is dedicated to a scientific analysis of the C14 tests, mainly on the Tunic of Argenteuil and the Shroud of Turin, and their practical inapplicability to such Relics, by Mrs Marie Claire van Oosterwyck. Mrs Rebecca Jackson presents an interesting paper on the Jewish habits in the first century. Finally, Professor Gerard Lucotte presents his analysis of the blood stains on the Holy Tunic, and Claude Jacquet gives a very interesting up-to-date comparison of the blood and DNA tests made on the 3 main Relics of Jesus Christ: Turino, Oviedo and Argenteuil. Other papers show various aspects of the long history of the Holy Tunic. 235 pages, including many figures and photographs, Dec. 2006, at the price of 22 Euro (or 27 USD, plus transportation cost if it applies).

La Sindone - Storia di un enigma by Emanuela Marinelli and O. Petrosillo.
"Is the Shroud the real burial cloth that wrapped Christ's body or, as the scientists who subjected some samples to radiocarbon dating in 1988 claim, is it only a medieval fake? Is it a relic - the most venerable of the Christian faith - or a mere sacred image, however admirable and surprisingly precise?
"Men of faith, historians and scientists have asked these questions for centuries. In this book, the authors provide the most up-to-date and well-balanced synthesis of this knowledge by surveying the research of sindonologists from every field of science. Only the joint contribution of archaeologists, doctors, biologists, anthropologists, chemists, experts in numismatics and photography, biblical exegetes and specialists in many other disciplines can provide all the necessary elements to understand this unique object.
"This year, as the Shroud is again offered for the veneration of believers, this well documented and exciting book will become as indispensable to those who search the science for a confirmation of their faith as it will to those simply wanting to peer deeper into a great and unsolved mystery".

The Mystery of the Shroud of Turin: New Scientific Evidence (Available from Amazon.com) by John C. Iannone
"Is the Shroud of Turin the ancient burial cloth of Jesus Christ or a clever medieval hoax on the part of Leonardo da Vinci? What did the recent Carbon-14 tests prove or disprove? How may the Holy Shroud and the Holy Grail be related? What did the DNA tests show regarding the apparent blood stains on the Shroud? How were the mysterious images on the Shroud created? These are just a few of the many intriguing questions that John C. Iannone addresses in this thoroughly researched study.

The Oviedo Cloth by Mark Guscin
Thousands know of the controversy surrounding the Turin Shroud, but few in the English-speaking world have heard of the Oviedo Cloth. It too is a possible relic of Jesus' burial, and the marks on the Shroud and the Cloth (which is thought to have been wrapped around Jesus' head) are consistent with each other. Yet the Oviedo Cloth has been in Spain since the beginning of the seventh century, and so provides an additional reason to question the carbon dating of the Turin Shroud to the fourteenth century.
This book is an original analysis of the Oviedo Cloth as an object of interest in its own right. Mark Guscin examines the claims for the authenticity of the Cloth, both scientific and historical. His treatment of the Turin Shroud and the new evidence his book provides will complement the impressive array of Shroud literature.

The Rape of the Turin Shroud (Available from Amazon.com) by William Meacham
Noted archaeologist and Shroud scholar William Meacham gives a frank and often critical accounting of what he calls "...the 'desecration' of the Shroud of Turin due to serious errors in its study and conservation. It is the story of how this relic, once the subject of worldwide curiosity and awe, with its haunting and still unexplained image of Christ, came to be wrongly dismissed as a medieval fake by the general public. And how it recently suffered major damage in an ill-advised and secretly executed "restoration" conducted for cosmetic and misguided conservation purposes." From its provocative title to its stinging criticisms of the Shroud's custodians, this book was sure to spark controversy and reveal a side of sindonology seldom seen by the public.
In fact, the controversy began almost immediately. In the book, Meacham quotes noted Shroud scholar Dr. John Jackson and criticizes Jackson's public response to the restoration of the Shroud during a press conference sponsored by the Turin authorities held in Turin in September 2002. The press conference was part of an invitation-only series of events sponsored by the Shroud's custodians, during which the large group of invited scientists and researchers were given an opportunity to view the "restored" Shroud for themselves and voice their opinions of the intervention. Upon seeing the quote and realizing that Meacham had omitted part of his response, Jackson wrote an open letter to a private, online Shroud science discussion group and provided them with the entire text of his original statement. In the interest of fairness I am also including it here: John Jackson's Response To William Meacham's Book. This was not the end of the discussion however, which continued over a number of additional e-mails between Jackson and Meacham. Since the debate became rather heated and somewhat personal, I ultimately decided not to publish it here. However, Meacham has posted his further responses on his personal website at http://freepages.religions.rootsweb.com/~wmeacham/response.htm.

Sacred Blood, Sacred Image - The Sudarium of Oviedo (New Evidence of the Authenticity of the Shroud of Turin) (Available from Amazon.com) by Janice Bennett
(Excerpt from the back cover of the book): The Sudarium of Oviedo is an ancient, bloodstained cloth that was rescued from the Persian invasion of Jerusalem in 614 A.D. Believed to be the Sudarium of the Lord, it was hidden in a chest of relics and taken by sea to Spain. When the Moors invaded the country in 711, the Christians fled to the north with their relics, safeguarding their treasure in a well on the top of a mountain known as Monsacro. Fifty years later Oviedo became its permanent residence, and the cloth quickly began to acquire fame as word spread throughout medieval Europe. Is it the sudarium of Jesus mentioned in John 20:5-7, and can it finally prove the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin?

The Shroud of Turin; An Adventure of Discovery (Available from Amazon.com) by Mary and Alan Whanger, is the story of the Whanger's twenty year involvement in Shroud research. As stated in the pre-publication press release:
In their new book... Mary and Alan Whanger chronicle their systematic study of the Shroud, which began in 1977 after seeing a photograph of the Shroud face. They had no preconceptions about its authenticity, but she, with a degree in Religion from Duke University and he, as a Professor Emeritus at Duke University Medical Center, although in unknown territory, conducted their research into the Shroud scientifically and with painstaking thoroughness and dedication.
The story of their research is a compelling adventure story of unimagined discoveries. Through the use of the Polarized Image Overlay Technique, invented by Dr. Whanger, never-seen-before images - coins and flowers, phylacteries and amulets, nails, spear dice and more - reveal their presence and provide evidence as to how and when the images were formed.
Overcoming their natural Protestant skepticism towards religious relics, the Whangers grew to believe in the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. "We feel that the evidence is solid, if not always easy to see. The story of the progressive unfolding of the finding of these images and evidences is the subject of this book and the adventure which we now invite you to share."

The Shroud of Turin and the C14 Dating Fiasco (Special Order from Amazon.com) by Thomas W. Case, with a Foreword by Fr. Frederick C. Brinkmann of the Holy Shroud Guild.
Thomas Case is a respected Washington-based science and religion journalist. He dedicated this book to the memory of the late Dr.John Heller, who, with Dr.Alan Adler, made a special study of the chemistry of the Shroud 'body image' and 'blood image' samples brought back by the STURP team in 1978. The book discusses the Shroud's body and blood images, and includes an analysis of the 1988 radiocarbon dating test. Case also provides the reader with a transcript of a tape-recorded interview with Drs.Heller and Adler, conducted in Connecticut on July 18, 1994. It probably is the last interview Dr.Heller gave before he died.
The book is immediately available from ASSIST for US$9.95 plus US$3.75 shipping and handling to addresses in the United States. Please write for overseas shipping rates. Requests should be sent to:

The Turin Shroud and the Crystal Lens by Professor Nicholas Allen
In this book, Professor Allen proposes that the Shroud of Turin was manufactured in medieval times by an artist using a large camera obscura with a crystal lens. As part of the evidence for his "proto-photography" theory, he used medieval raw materials and created a very striking "photograph" on linen cloth, having properties similar to the image on the Shroud.

The brochure for the book says:
"Dr. Lavoie takes the reader on a 20-year medical and scriptural search into the meaning of the blood marks and image on the Shroud of Turin. Some ot the discoveries he discusses revolve around the pollen spores clinging to the fibers of the Shroud, the origin of the Shroud, the chemical composition of the fibers, the blood marks on the Shroud, the image itself, the position of the blood stains and the image, the scriptural references that support his findings and the controversial carbon dating process done on the Shroud. His studies conclude that this Shroud did indeed cover a crucified man, that the image and the blood stains are separate events and that the accuracy of the carbon dating process...needs to be questioned. This book (and the accompanying video) will bring the reader to look at the Shroud in an entirely new way and re-examine any preconceived notions about the authenticity of the Shroud!"For more information about the book or video you can call the publisher's toll free number at 1-800-822-6701 or contact the publisher directly by e-mail at cservice@rcl-enterprises.com
