I’ve always been fascinated with the Shroud of Turin. It seems that the more we study it, the more incomprehensible it becomes. There is an interesting article here by Theology in Five entitled “The Shroud of Turin: A Case That Refuses to Go Away”.

The author concludes,

“Absolute proof may still remain out of reach, and caution is always appropriate when dealing with artifacts of this kind, but the overall evidence has become far more convincing than many critics are willing to admit. At this point, authenticity is not a fringe conclusion clung to by the overly devout. It is a serious and defensible reading of the evidence.

At minimum, the Shroud deserves to be treated as an ancient artifact with features that remain scientifically and historically extraordinary. At maximum, it may be the single most significant physical object associated with the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ ever preserved. Either way, it is no longer the easy target it once was.“
