Hephaestus Books represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.

We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. This particular book contains chapters focused on Christian relics, Relics associated with Jesus, Holy Grail, and Reliquaries of the True Cross. More info: Throughout the history of Christianity a number of relics associated with Jesus have been claimed and displayed. Some people believe in the authenticity of some relics; others doubt the authenticity of various items. For instance, the sixteenth century Catholic theologian Erasmus wrote sarcastically about the proliferation of relics, and the number of buildings erected from the cross used in the Crucifixion of Christ. Similarly, while experts debate whether Christ was crucified with three or with four nails, at least thirty Holy Nails continue to be venerated as relics across Europe.
