DescriptionThis is an entertaining, yet comprehensive and science-based investigation into the world of miracle claims. Is the shroud of Turin really a burial cloth of Jesus, produced by a miraculous burst of energy at the moment of Resurrection? What happens at faith-healing services to provide apparently miraculous cures? Drawing on his more than 40-years of experience in paranormal investigation, Joe Nickell uses on-site examinations, lab experiments, and other detective methods to uncover the facts behind some of the world's most incredible miracle claims - from miraculous images such as "weeping" icons and magical relics like the Holy Grail to saintly powers such as stigmata and demonic possession, and everything in between. Conveying the sense of adventure and intrigue surrounding the investigation of any mystery, The Science of Miracles is both entertaining reading and a comprehensive, science-based study of miracle claims.
