Product Description

Potrait of Jesus? is a comprehensive and up-to-the-minute account of the Shroud of Turin which, according to legend, was the garment which covered Jesus in the tomb. Frank Tribbe has for many years been a member of the elite group of scientists and researchers studying the Shroud. His book takes all their findings into account to show that, contrary to claims that it is a medieval hoax, the Shroud is an authentic first-century relic from the Near East, probably Palestine. The massive evidence which Tribbe presents from decades of research makes Portrait of Jesus? the best resource for knowledge about the Shroud.

This edition contains updates on all findings to the present. “This book pulls together all existing information on the Shroud…It also provides ingenious theories of how the Shroud found its way from the Jerusalem of the Apostles to the France of the 14th century… . The reasonable man may find it harder than he imagines to dismiss the Shroud of Turin after reading this book.” -James C. O’Neill, National Catholic News Service

“Comprehensive and accurate information… .” -Rev. Adam J. Otterbein, C.SS.R., S.T.D., President of the Holy Shroud Guild

“An invaluable resource for us all… especially important for every thinking Christian.” -Rev. Dr. Edward J. Bauman, Senior Minister of Foundry United Methodist Church, Washington, DC

Customer Reviews

A highly documented analysis of the history and properties of the shroud of Turin
The significantly revised and updated second edition of Portrait Of Jesus: The Shroud Of Turin In Science And History by author and lecturer Frank C. Tribbe is a highly documented analysis of the history and properties of the shroud of Turin. Addressing all of the controversies associated with the Shroud's history and historical significance, Tribbe draws upon years of careful study and exhaustive research carefully distinguishing documented facts and personal views and speculative theories. Informed and informative, nicely illustrated and inherently entertaining, the Portrait Of Jesus is very strongly recommended reading, especially for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in what is arguably one of the most important, famous, and controversial historical relics of Christianity.
