Who is the Man of the Shroud?

What the Gospels do not record, Shroud science does. But what does it reveal about the physical sufferings of the man? Are signs of Resurrection traced on the Shroud? How was this enigmatic image, which acts as a photonegative and encodes three-dimensional information, formed in the first place? Do these linen fibers contain the blood that was shed for our salvation?  

The Shroud of Turin is the most studied archeological object in human history. This unique audio-visual presentation condenses the most relevant information into one single exhilarating talk. 

When we look at the Shroud, do we gaze upon the face of God?

Fr Andrew Dalton takes up this question (and more!) in his uniquely biblical and scientific approach to the most treasured relic in Christendom.
