He is here to discuss his book The History of the Sudarium of Oviedo, which “The Oviedo Sudarium is a little known object that has been in Spain since the early seventh century. Quite apart from the debate as to whether it could be the sudarium mentioned in the gospel of John, the cloth forms part of the history of Spain and the Pilgrims Road to Santiago. Oviedo was a frequent detour on the route to Compostela, precisely so that pilgrims could visit the Sudarium (or at least the ark it was kept in) and other articles that had come from Jerusalem at the time of the Persian invasion in AD 614” (Google Books). You can find the novel on Amazon.
