The Resurrection of the Shroud by Mark Antonacci is a detailed scientific and historical argument asserting that the Shroud of Turin is the authentic burial cloth of Jesus Christ and that it contains physical evidence of his resurrection. Published in 2000, the book challenges the widely accepted 1988 radiocarbon dating results and proposes a unique physical mechanism for the formation of the image on the cloth.
The book synthesizes over twenty years of the author's research with data from the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP), a 1978 scientific examination of the relic. Antonacci, originally an agnostic, argues that the cumulative scientific, medical, and archaeological evidence proves the man in the shroud suffered a crucifixion consistent with Gospel accounts and that the image was formed by a burst of radiation during a resurrection event.
