	THE SHROUD OF TURIN: A PARABLE FOR MODERN TIMES?
		Researchers examining the Shroud of Turin were keenly aware of "potential sources" of carbon contamination, and did their utmost to eliminate all effects during pre-treatment cleaning (Damon 1989: 612).
		In the rush to judgment, the conclusion was drawn that the Turin Shroud was medieval.
		While the Shroud of Turin may suggest various facets of a deeper, hidden reality, not directly accessible nor provable in any traditional sense by science, of equal interest is how compelling it is for both proponents and critics to establish or refute its authenticity.

	shroud of Turin
		Apparently, the first historical mention of the shroud as the "shroud of Turin" is in the late 16th century when the shroud was brought to the cathedral in that city, though it allegedly was discovered in Turkey during one of the so-called "Holy" Crusades in the so-called "Middle" Ages.
		The shroud allegedly was in a fire during the early part of the 16th century and, according to believers in the shroud's authenticity, that is what accounts for the carbon dating of the shroud as being no more than 650 years old.
		The shroud, however, has many defenders who believe they have demonstrated that the cloth is not a forgery, dates from the time of Christ, is of miraculous origin, etc. It is claimed that there is type AB blood on the shroud.

	News in Science - Turin shroud older than thought - 26/01/2005
		The Shroud of Turin, the piece of linen long-believed to have been wrapped around Jesus' body after the crucifixion, is much older than radiocarbon tests suggest, according to new microchemical research.
		At that time, three reputable laboratories in Oxford, Zurich and Tucson, Arizona, concluded that the cloth on which the smudged outline of the body of a man is indelibly impressed was a medieval fake dating from 1260 to 1390, and not the burial cloth wrapped around the body of Christ.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Shroud of Turin
		This name is primarily given to a relic now preserved at Turin, for which the claim is made that it is the actual "clean linen cloth" in which Joseph of Arimathea wrapped the body of Jesus Christ (Matthew 27:59).
		That the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin is taken for granted, in various pronouncements of the Holy See cannot be disputed.
		The pope, without absolutely prohibiting the exhibition of the Shroud, decided after full examination that in the future when it was shown to the people, the priest should declare in a loud voice that it was not the real shroud of Christ, but only a picture made to represent it.

	Claims of Invalid “Shroud” Radiocarbon Date Cut from Whole Cloth
		Longtime Shroud of Turin devotee Ray Rogers, a retired research chemist, now admits there is the equivalent of a watercolor paint on the alleged burial cloth of Jesus.
		Rogers compared the threads with some small samples from elsewhere on the Shroud, claiming to find differences between the two sets of threads that “prove” the radiocarbon sample “was not part of the original cloth” of the Turin shroud (as stated in his abstract [Rogers 2005, 189]).
		Science has proved the Shroud of Turin a medieval fake, but defenders of authenticity turn the scientific method on its head by starting with the desired conclusion and working backward to the evidence—picking and choosing and reinterpreting as necessary.

	Shroud of Turin, sacred relic or religious hoax? - The Crime library
		One of the main arguments made by skeptics concerning the Turin Shroud's alleged "holiness" is that there is no mention of its existence, or at least the existence of one with the image of Christ, in the entirety of the New Testament.
		If the shroud is from a later date, the entire theory of it being the burial cloth of Jesus must be entirely dismissed.
		Most skeptics agree that although the man in the shroud was likely a representation of Jesus, it was one that was probably from the Middle Ages.

		Is the Shroud of Turin Evidence of the Resurrection of Jesus?
		Reality Check on the Shroud of Turin: For many, interest in the Shroud of Turin is about hoping to find more evidence of the resurrection of Jesus; an affirmation of the biblical story, an accommodation with the realities of science and a challenge to modern biblical revisionism.
		The Shroud of Turin is certainly not a medieval fake relic.

	CSICOP Release on Turin Shroud
		Nickell is author of Inquest on the Shroud of Turin (Prometheus 1998)-a study that relies on evidence from the Catholic church's own documents and the gospel account of St. John, in addition to the "hard" scientific evidence from chemical, microscopic and radiocarbon analyses.
		Claims that the carbon dating was flawed ignore the fact that the shroud would have to be contaminated with twice its own weight in contaminating material to push the cloth's age back to the first century A.D. Finally, the Turin shroud contradicts the account of Jesus' burial in the Gospel of John.
		He is author of Inquest on the Shroud of Turin (Prometheus 1983, 1998) and numerous articles, including "Blooming 'Shroud' Claims" (Skeptical Inquirer, Nov./Dec. 1999) and "Pollens on the 'Shroud': A Study in Deception" (Skeptical Inquirer Summer 1994).

	The Rape of the Turin Shroud by William Meacham (Book) in Christianity
		This book tells the story of how this relic of the Crucifixion, once the subject of worldwide curiosity and awe, with the haunting and still unexplained image of Christ, came to be wrongly dismissed as a medieval fake by the general public.
		Then the carbon-dating fiasco and restoration disaster are traced step-by-step, describing the personalities involved, the conflicts, how events unfolded, and the scientific issues related to the carbon-dating and "restoration." An educated reader with no knowledge of these fields would have no difficulty reading this book.
		One is left with the strong impression that the Turin Shroud still holds very important secrets to be discovered, and that it could well be the burial cloth of Christ after all, with a body imprint exhibiting the wounds suffered during the Crucifixion.

	Fooled by the Variegated Shroud of Turin Background Noise
		Some of the bands of different shades of white (now yellowed and browned with age) are narrow and some are quite wide.
		The variegation, or banding as it is sometimes called, is visual background noise and it alters the way we see things on the Shroud.
		It is most unlikely that the linen cloth used for the Shroud was produced in medieval Europe.
