WHAT IS THE SHROUD OF TURIN?
© Stephen E. Jones[1]
This is, "What is the Shroud of Turin?" part #8, of my online book, 
"The Shroud of Turin: The Burial Sheet of Jesus!" For more information see the Cover #1, Contents #2 and Preface #3, of this series. When a topic below is linked, it has been posted. I originally wrongly had "A linen cloth #10" and "Dimensions #12" on this page, and omitted "Colour #11," when "A linen cloth #10" should have been the heading of chapter 2, which it now is. However, I kept their chronological part numbers #10, #11 & #12 and also their hyperlinks, hence the gap between #9 and #13.
