Joseph G. Marino, in Wrapped Up in the Shroud: Chronicle of a Passion (revised and updated from the 2011 original version), recounts his youthful life focused somewhat aimlessly on sports, followed by a growing interest in religion and eventually, the Shroud of Turin. Out of this arose a sense of purpose that drew him to a profession as a Catholic monk. Through his all-absorbing interest in the Shroud, he met a beautiful young woman equally entranced by the enigmatic cloth and made the gut-wrenching decision to leave religious life to be with her.

Working together, Mr. Marino and his wife, M. Sue Benford, co-authored several articles postulating a medieval re-weave as the probable cause of the unexpected and aberrant medieval date of the l988 radiocarbon testing. Their hypothesis was confirmed by a Los Alamos chemist, the late Raymond N. Rogers, who published his findings in a peer-reviewed academic journal.
