SYNOPSIS:  “For a certain period in history, the Knights Templar – the most powerful military religious order of the Middle Ages – secretly guarded the Shroud of Turin.

The precious cloth was kept in a central treasury by the Templars; its history and whereabouts known only to the highest dignitaries of the secretive order. In an era of widespread doctrinal confusion in much of the Church, the Templars considered the shroud to be a powerful antidote against the proliferation of heresies.

Following its pathway throughout the Middle Ages, the author has gone back in time to the dawn of the Christian era to provide a new perspective on the controversial relic.”
