The Science of Miracles: Investigating the Incredible

Description

Is the Shroud of Turin really the burial cloth of Jesus, produced by a miraculous burst of radiant energy at the moment of Resurrection? What happens at faith-healing services to provide apparently miraculous cures?

Steering between the twin pillars of belief and disbelief, experienced paranormal investigator Joe Nickell examines these claims and more. Relying on his forty-plus years of experience in tracking down the solutions to mysteries, Nickell uses on-site examinations, lab experiments, and other detective methods to uncover the facts behind the most incredible claims.

Nickell evaluates the evidence in six major categories of miracle claims: miraculous images, magical relics, miracle healings, visionary experiences, saintly powers, and "the devil's work."
