Turin Shroud : How Leonardo da Vinci Fooled History (Revised edition 2006) by Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince

$15.00 AUD

Category: SECONDHAND BOOKS

From the authors of The Sion Revelation comes the reissue of a classic work in this genre. In 1988, carbon dating of the world's most famous Christian relic revealed that it was a mediaeval or Renaissance forgery. Yet many questions remained. How could a hoaxer of 500 or more years ago have create d an image that appears so astonishingly lifelike when seen in photographic negative? How was such an image formed? And who would have dared fake the Holy Shroud of Jesus? Setting out to answer these questions, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince discovered that the faker was none other than Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance artist, scientist, inventor - and hoaxer - whose innovations are acknowledged to have been centuries ahead of his time. They also reconstructed Leonardo's secret technique - becoming the first ever to recreate the Shroud image. Now revised and updated, sensationally the new 2006 edition of Turin Shroud presents the long-lost hard evidence to link the Shroud of Turin directly with Leonardo da Vinci. Perhaps this is even his 'confession' to having faked Christianity's most sacred relic, which will astonish both believers and sceptics alike, and present a new challenge to historians of both art and photography. First published 1994; this revised edition 2006. Author Information: Picknett and Prince write on the subject of religious and historical mysteries and conspiracies. ...Show more

Charles Simeon of Cambridge by Hugh Evan Hopkins

$35.00 AUD

Category: SECONDHAND BOOKS

Charles Simeon ministered for over fifty years in one parish at the heart of Cambridge during the bleak period of English national life between the French Wars and the passing of the Reform Bill. He was considered by Lord Macaulay to have had greater influence on the life of the church than any primate. Soundly converted in his first term at King's College, he was appointed Vicar of Holy Trinity in 1782, combining the incumbency with a Fellowship and various academic posts. Highly unpopular at first on account of both his message and his manner, scorned and abused for many years, he carried on regardless of other's opinions until in the end he became perhaps the best known and best respected name in Cambridge. Hot-tempered but warm-hearted, impetuous but infinitely patient, a man of imposing, even remarkable appearance, he was a character, about whom the most entertaining stories are eagerly recounted. As a Christian of independent mind and strong convictions, he found his spiritual strength in a lifetime of deep devotion and strict personal discipline; as a biblical preacher he was the first for many generations to see the possibility and importance of teaching others how to expound the Scriptures; as a pastor and evangelist his work with both town and gown was marked by a rare faithfulness and zeal. Limited all his life to the one center of spiritual activity, he yet was the moving spirit in the formation of the Church Missionary Society, and an enthusiastic supporter of the Bible Society and of work among the Jews. ...Show more

The Vision Glorious : Themes and Personalities of the Catholic Revival in Anglicanism by Geoffrey Rowell

$45.00 AUD

Category: SECONDHAND BOOKS

The beginning of the Oxford Movement in the early nineteenth century signalled a religious revival that was to have far-reaching effects on the Church of England: the continuity and catholic identity of Anglicanism was affirmed, sacramental worship was restored to a central place in Anglican devotion, a nd religious orders were revived. Visions Glorious studies the Catholic revival in Anglicanism in the nineteenth century and explores some of the major themes and personalities involved, focusing on the close relationship between theology and sacramental spirituality that was at the heart of the movement. Examining the beliefs of major figures such as Newman, Pusey and Keble, this scholarly critique of the Oxford Movement by the present chaplain of Keble College makes a contribution to the renewal of the Catholic tradition in Anglicanism today. ...Show more
