    Unlikely. That title doesn't originate from a dedicated Christian publisher:

    Some time ago there was a discussion going on about including secular publishers as well, with very mixed opinions, since that would mean including secular titles as well (worst example: 50 shades of gray). No idea if there's anything still happening on that project...

    The last of the official leaders of the Knight Templers was Grand Master Jacques de Molay.

    He had confessed to wrong doings while under torture but retracted his confession and was burned in March of 1314.

    There are some “reports” that state that he may have been crucified as part of the torture.

    Some that date the Shroud from the middle ages think that his is the image that appears on the Shroud of Turin.

    Ah. I see. I know looking at the title will throw most people off and personally I could careless about the shroud but there was a good section on what crucifixion would do to a person medically which I found interesting. Know of any other books that might discuss that?

    I just searched my library for "shroud", which came up with a few results from apologetics works by Geisler and McDowell, but only short articles and nothing really substantial. Maybe someone with a Verbum base package would have some better success with that.

    It surely is a cloth with many mysteries. I recently came across an interesting (critical) documentary but can't find it again now.
