The Shroud of Turin. Witness to the Suffering of Jesus Christ

The Shroud of Turin. Witness to the Suffering of Jesus Christ

Jean-Christian Ptoffis – a French historian, researcher, biographer of famous historical figures, and laureate of prestigious literary awards.
«The Shroud of Turin - the greatest historical and archaeological mystery - has fascinated me for many decades. I have analyzed articles, works,... and specialized publications, both French and foreign, read reports from colloquiums and specialist presentations, recorded hypotheses, noted the complexities of interpretation and astonishing discoveries, which have involved numerous sciences: history, archaeology, chemistry, physics, biology, anatomy, forensic medicine, anthropology, oriental studies, numismatics, paleography, and many others.
Who among the believers and even the non-believers has not been enchanted by the contemplation of this posthumous image that has passed through time?
Freed from suffering, the noble and serene face, bearing the expression of strict and elevated grandeur, seems to pose to us the question that Jesus of Nazareth asked his disciples on the roads of Galilee and Judea: «But what do you say I am?» (Matt. 16:15).» (Jean-Christian Ptoffis)
