The Turin Shroud

About this ebook
For centuries belief that the Shroud of Turin really bears the likeness of the crucified Jesus Christ had to be a matter of faith alone. Then in 1898 it was photographed for the first time, and suddenly the negative image revealed an astonishingly life-like wealth of detail of a tall bearded man horribly tortured with whip, nails and crown of thorns. Virtually overnight, the age-old faith of the pilgrims seemed to be vindicated. Surely this was the very image of Jesus?

The Mystery
For centuries belief that the Shroud of Turin really bears the likeness of the crucified Jesus Christ was a matter of faith alone. Then in 1898 it was photographed and the negative image revealed a wealth of detail. Was this the image of Jesus?
The Significance
If the Turin Shroud is genuine, what does it tell us about Jesus and the origins of Christianity? Although many believe that it would provide vital proof of the truth of the religion, others argue that it would undermine some of its central tenets.
Chronology of the Shroud
The Turin Shroud's origins and history before the middle of the 14th century are controversial. This presents a chronology of the main events of the Shroud's known history.
How authentic is the Shroud?
The Turin Shroud bears the image, front and back, of a crucified man, supposedly imprinted on the cloth when the victim was placed in the shroud for internment. With wounds corresponding exactly to those suffered by Jesus, either it really is his burial shroud or it was faked with the intention of passing it off as such.
Theories on the Shroud
For some, the Shroud image is simply the result of a miracle. This view is even taken by some scientists who have studied the Shroud. A variant of this theory is that the image is paranormal, perhaps imprinted on the cloth by psychic means, by the collective will of the pilgrims who came to meditate upon it.
Dating the Shroud
When historians, scientists and other specialists first began to look seriously at the Turin Shroud at the beginning of the 20th century, the big question they wanted to answer was: how old is the Shroud?
The Missing Centuries
One of the major problems for believers is that there is no evidence that the Shroud existed before the second half of the 14th century, the earliest documentary reference being from 1389. As a cloth bearing the miraculous image of Jesus, and impregnated with his redemptive blood, should have been the most famous relic in Christendom, this absence is hard to understand.
The Pollen Controversy
One of the most widely-discussed aspects of the Shroud mystery is the claim of Swiss criminologist Max Frei that, by analysing samples of pollen collected from the cloth, that he could determine, if not the age of the relic, then at least where it had been kept during its
