Episode notes
Historical Journey of Shroud
- The Shroud of Turin is a 14x3.5 foot linen cloth with a faint image of a crucified man, kept in Turin, Italy since 1578.
- It traveled from Jerusalem through several cities and was once hidden from Nazis and nearly destroyed by fire.
Protestant Skepticism of Relics
- Protestants tend to distrust relics due to Reformation critiques of the proliferation of fake relics and miracles.
- John Calvin criticized relic abuses, influencing Protestant skepticism about miraculous objects like the Shroud.
Carbon Dating Controversy
- The 1988 carbon dating tested a repaired patch, not the original Shroud cloth, skewing results to medieval dates.
- Newer tests like 2022's X-ray wax method date it closer to the 1st century, challenging earlier conclusions.
