The Church, the Shroud and the Creation of a Holy Fraud.
In this fascinating investigation into the Shroud, Keith Laidler uncovers its astonishing hidden secrets, providing persuasive answers to all its greatest mysteries. Dissatisfied with the standard explanations of both believers and sceptics, Laidler looks anew at the Holy Relic and discovers that both sides are wrong. He uncovers information that has long been suppressed and reveals the remarkable nature of what the Turin Shroud really is.
Laidler's extensive research into the true identity of the Templar "idol" - the head known as The Baphomet - has allowed him to answer the questions that have baffled experts for centuries, for the key to the whole mystery lies in the face and body shown on the Shroud.
'The Divine Deception' is a fascinating story of historical detection. It reveals an extraordinary chain of events and opens a window onto a forgotten and forbidden past. It encompasses the long-forgotten original Christian beliefs, the lost history of the disciples, a crucified "Arabic Jesus", the story of vanished technologies, and ends with state-of-the-art computer analysis of the Shroud that uncovers details that could not have revealed until now. Whether you are a believer or a non-believer, you will be astounded by Laidler's conclusions.
