Thomas de Wesselow is a British Art historian and investigator of Medieval images. He has new research on the Shroud of Turin which for centuries has been regarded by some as the burial cloth of Jesus – by others, as the most elaborate hoax in history.

After five years of painstaking study, Thomas reveals the results of his research in his book, The Sign. He believes he can prove beyond doubt that the Shroud is an authentic relic of Jesus and, that it inspired the belief in the Resurrection.
