The Critical Summary supports the mission of the American Confraternity of the Holy Shroud to spread knowledge about the Shroud throughout the Americas. We urge you to purchae a copy of the book and to carefully study it. We believe you will be profoundly moved by the data and information you encounter. If that is the case, we would ask that you join the ACHS mission and use this extraordinary book as an educational tool not only for yourself, but also as a valuable gift for other members of your family, those graduating from school, those being confirmed, RCIA members, and friends both inside and outside of the practicing Catholic faith and the extended Christian community. The Shroud of Turin book offers the opportunity to share knowledge of the Holy Shroud and its implications for not only Christians, but for all who seek the Truth.

The Shroud of Turin: A Critical Summary of Observations, Data, and Hypotheses, has been published by the ACHS education partner, the Turin Shroud Center of Colorado (TSC). The work is an up-to-date summary of the corpus of Shroud evidence, both empirical and historical, that collectively act to support a rational judgment that the Shroud is indeed the actual burial cloth that once wrapped the body of Jesus of Nazareth in the tomb. The Shroud stands uniquely at the intersection of Faith and Science, two domains that many unfortunately and mistakenly see as irreconcilable.

TSC uses proceeds from the sales of the book to support further research and publishing update editions.
