“The book’s critical approach to the questions engendered by the shroud is excellent. In particular, Dr. Lavoie’s recognition that the radiocarbon dating polemic is a question of accuracy and not precision is most prescient.”
Alan Adler, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, Western Connecticut State University
“Dr. Lavoie’s narrative is intriguing. The discussion of the burial rites of Judaism is informed and illuminating.”

Stephen J. Camer, M.D., Chief of Surgery
New England Baptist Hospital
