Investigating the Incredible
An entertaining, comprehensive, and science-based study of miracle
claimsIs 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. He evaluates the
evidence in six major categories of miracle claims: miraculous images
(such as "weeping" icons); magical relics (like the Shroud of Turin
and the Holy Grail); miracle healings (at Lourdes or at the hands of
healers like Benny Hinn); visionary experiences (including near-death
experiences); saintly powers (such as stigmata); and "the devil's
work" (such as demonic possession).Conveying the sense of adventure
surrounding the investigation of any mystery, this is both
entertaining reading and a comprehensive, science-based study of
miracle claims.
