BOOKS OF SCRIPTURE
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it. —George Bernard Shaw, Plays Pleasant
and Unpleasant, Vol. 2, Preface
The common theme that runs through all religions is that if we believe in God and
submit to His decree—obeying the commanded and avoiding the forbidden, and
repenting our transgressions to Him—we will achieve salvation. The difference is in
defining God’s decree. Jews consider the Old Testament the endpoint of revelation at
present, whereas Christians and Muslims alike contend that if the Jews followed their
scripture, they would accept Jesus as a prophet and embrace his teachings. Muslims carry the thought a step further by asserting that anybody (Jewish,
Christian, or otherwise) who does embrace Jesus’ teachings...

It was no empty vow of their elect ones, “to be baptized with the
baptism of Christ, to take on themselves scourgings, imprisonments,
tortures, reproaches, crosses, blows, tribulation, and all temptations of the
world.” Theirs the tears, theirs the blood shed during more than ten
centuries of fierce persecution in the East; and if we reckon of their
number, as well we may, the early puritans of Europe, then the tale of
wicked deeds wrought by the persecuting churches reaches dimensions
which appall the mind. And as it was all done, nominally out of reverence for, but really in mockery of, the Prince of Peace, it is hard...

In recent years, many have found their doubts strengthened by a trail of engaging
theories in books of critical Christian challenge. One such work, The Jesus Conspiracy
by Holger Kersten and Elmar R. Gruber, is of particular interest with regard to the subject
of this chapter, for the authors present powerful evidence that whoever was wrapped in
the Shroud of Turin did not die. Kersten and Gruber proposed that the Catholic Church
realized the devastating impact this theory, if true, could have. After all, if the evidence
suggested that Jesus had been wrapped in the shroud but did not die, the church would be
left without a death, without an atoning sacrifice, without a resurrection and, in short, the
church would...
