Book Overview
A fascinating examination of the most famous religious relics of all time Since the early days of the Church, Christians have venerated religious relics. In this fascinating book, Steven Sora tells the story of Christianity's most treasured artifacts-the Ark of the Covenant, Noah's Ark, the True Cross, the Spear of Destiny, the Shroud of Turin, and the Holy Grail-as well as lesser-known objects such as the Veil of Veronica and the bones and blood of Biblical figures such as St. Luke. After describing when and where these relics first came to light and what miraculous powers people believe they possess, he discusses what modern science can tell us about these much-revered objects-and what science still fails to explain. Steven Sora (Easton, PA) is the author of The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar: Solving the Oak Island Mystery and the forthcoming Secret Societies of America's Elite: From the Knights Templar to Skull and Bones.

Fascinating book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
In Steven Soras newest book, he details the history and traditions behind the most important relics religion has to offer. "Treasures from Heaven" reads like a non-fiction indiana jones tale, it describes the history as well as the modern day search efforts for items such as Noahs Ark, the stories behind the Spear of Destiny, as well as the miracles associated with many relics of the church. From bleeding statues, miraculous healings, to pious priests whose corpses refuse to decompose, this book has it all. Treasures includes many of the most famous relics in addition to some lesser known items, all of which are truly fascinating. I highly recomend this book to everyone! Five stars!
