Potrait of Jesus? is a comprehensive and up-to-the-minute account of the Shroud of Turin which, according to legend, was the garment which covered Jesus in the tomb. Frank Tribbe has for many years been a member of the elite group of scientists and researchers studying the Shroud. His book takes all their findings into account to show that, contrary to claims that it is a medieval hoax, the Shroud is an authentic first-century relic from the Near East, probably Palestine. The massive evidence which Tribbe presents from decades of research makes Portrait of Jesus? the best resource for knowledge about the Shroud.
This edition contains updates on all findings to the present.
 "This book pulls together all existing information on the Shroud...It also provides ingenious theories of how the Shroud found its way from the Jerusalem of the Apostles to the France of the 14th century... The reasonable man may find it harder than he imagines to dismiss the Shroud of Turin after reading this book." ―James C. O'Neill,National Catholic News Service
"Comprehensive and accurate information..." ―Rev. Adam J. Otterbein, C.SS.R., S.T.D., President of the Holy Shroud Guild
"An invaluable resource for us all...especially important for every thinking Christian." ―Rev. Dr. Edward J. Bauman, Senior Minister of Foundry United Methodist Church, Washington, DC

The Biblical accounts of Jesus' life and the growth of Christianity in the following years leave so much to the imagination. Frank Tribbe allows his imagination and serious scholarly research to fill in many of the gaps: the events in the tomb on the first Easter morning, those who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus, the thoughts of "doubting" Thomas--all are recorded in plausible and fine detail. Drawing on apocryphal New Testament texts, Tribbe recreates the extensive role attributed to Joseph of Arimathea in the period after the crucifixion. The Gospel accounts of Easter weekend themselves point to his activity while the other disciples retreated in fear. Joseph made the arrangements for the burial of Jesus' body, for which he provided burial linens and tomb. The book also describes the probable survival and earliest history of a mysterious artifact: the Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the shroud which wrapped Jesus' dead body and which was marked with his "photographic" image. Tribbe also fills in the "lost years" of Jesus before he entered upon his public ministry and presents the thesis that Joseph of Arimathea was the "Apostle of Britain," introducing Christianity to the west before it reached Rome. The details of daily life in the first century, descriptions of travel, accurate or plausible reconstructions of the Judaeo-Roman "postal system," coinage, business practices, languages, literacy and education, and ancient metallurgy, all bring this amazing story to life. "By means of truly impressive scholarly research, Frank Tribbe transports the reader vividly into the ambience of Tiberius, Claudius, Nero, Peter and Paul, and of Jesus himself." Daniel C. Scavone
