 The Oviedo Cloth - Mark Guscin
The Oviedo Cloth has been in its current home in the cathedral town of Oviedo, in northern Spain, since the 11th century. This in an original analysis of the Oviedo Cloth as an object of interest in its own right. Mark Guscin examines the claims for the authenticity of the Cloth, both scientific and historical.;The closing chapter examines current historiography in religious studies, and offers a critique of the methodologies applied by those who attempt to separate the Jesus of faith from the Jesus of history. Guscin bases his argument on historical evidence, concluding that tests performed on both the Cloth and the Shroud demonstrate that science does not contradict faith, but rather, confirms it.
