The Holy Shroud of Turin by Arthur Stapylton Barnes offers a detailed and reverent study of one of Christianity’s most mysterious and debated relics—the Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Written by an Anglican theologian who later converted to Catholicism, this early 20th-century classic presents both historical research and theological reflection, weaving together scientific inquiry, devotional insight, and apologetics.
Barnes meticulously explores the Shroud's authenticity, iconographic significance, and miraculous qualities, responding to skeptics while defending the Shroud’s credibility as a powerful witness to the Passion and Resurrection of Christ. Drawing on historical records, Church tradition, and emerging science of his time, he crafts a compelling narrative that continues to resonate with scholars and believers today.
