It is an interesting read whether you are Christian or not. This book is loaded with proof interpreted by one of the most intelligent and analytical of minds. This is a book that offers the evidence, you make the choice. You must decide for yourself if it is real. Everyone in the book who is used as a source is equally knowledgable and committed to presenting the scientific evidence, not in convincing people of the Shroud's authenticity. Garza is a genius and associates with other genius's as intelligent and openminded as himself when it comes to scientific study. The descriptions of the way in which Jesus died and the proof that the Shroud holds is amazing. The most fascinating chapter in the whole book, in my opinion, is the one where he reveals the pathology of the Shroud. At least there will always be a question in most people's minds thanks to the research and genius of this man. His scientific proof, in my opinion is indisputable. I have always thought that the Shroud of Turin was legitimate, but it is a true fact, things can be faked. I was not surprised to hear he had written a book and was very pleased when I read it. He possesses a brilliant mind and truthful spirit. He is a wonderfully gifted doctor, and a lovely Christian man, one of the most peaceful individuals you will ever meet. Is the shroud of turin the burial cloth of Jesus Christ? I for one am convinced! For more on this subject, please refer to the exellent DVD entitled: "The Fabric of Time". Less that 3% of the worlds population is presently AB, but it is 600% more common for Jews living in northern Palestine, according to the author. Although 95% of the blood on the shroud is bacteria laiden, the 5% that was able to be tested resulted in a concensus that the blood group was "AB". One thought that I found extremely interesting is the blood evidence. The documented wounds from the shroud are an exact replica of the gospel records account of the beatings, piercings, and crucifiction of Jesus of Nazarath. He has shoulder length hair that is parted in the middle, with a moustache and forked beard. The image on the shroud is that of a male, approximately 5'11" tall and weighing around 175 pounds. He supplies us with eight color photographs of his indepth work. This contamination formed a "bioplastic" coating that spread as the bacteria used the blood on the shroud for food and energy to expand. Garza-Valdes rejects the carbon-14 dates as inaccurate due to microscopic bacteria and fungi which has formed on the cloth over the years.
He successfully refutes the common notion that the age of the burial cloth is of recent origin. Leoncio Garza-Valdes draws upon his skill and knowledge as a medical doctor and as a professor of microbiology in order to present to us a fascinating scientific analysis of this Holy Shroud.
One of the most talked about and yet least understood of the world's religious relics is the shroud of turin.
