Reviews
Thorough, fair and entertaining. -- Journal of American Cultures Free of sarcasm and without any sort of denigration of religion in general or Christianity in particular, this book provides an indispensable guide to the subject of relics, especially in its detailed refutation of hot-off-the-presses, spurious claims on behalf of the Turin Shroud and associated hoaxes. -- Robert M. Price, Professor of Theology and Scriptural Studies, Johnnie Colemon T A provocative book. -- Milton C. Moreland, editor of Between Text and Artifact Joe Nickell is the embodiment of the Mythbusters, Sherlock Holmes, and Richard Feynman: one part lab tinkerer, one part field sleuth, and one part theoretical genius. And the relics of the Christ that he investigates in this delightful narrative render themselves bare to the magnifying glass of his inimitable mind. Having Joe Nickell show up at your miracle is like having Mike Wallace arrive at your company -- Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine, columnist for Scientific Amer
