| abstract | - The Shroud of Turin or Turin Shroud was a length of linen cloth bearing the image of a man, is believed by some to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, the Jewish preacher and leader of the Christianity.
- The Shroud of Turin is believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ and some kind of supernatural weapon. The Shroud makes an appearance in Death Masks and Skin Game.
- The Shroud of Turin is a piece of cloth that has been radio carbon dated to the 14th Century CE. Dramatic claims have been made for this cloth that believers maintain was the actual shroud of Jesus. The Roman Catholic Church owns this cloth and decides which scientists have access to it. Unsurprisingly those scientists the Roman Catholic Church chooses to investigate the cloth generally find results that the Roman Catholics like, the radio carbon dating being an exception. Scientifically minded people should not be impressed by this piece of linen unless truly independent scientists chosen, for example by Richard Dawkins are allowed access to the cloth. If there is nothing to hide why does the church not allow such independent investigation? There is a good and a a bad side to Christianity, see
- The Shroud has several unique characteristics. First, its image is brighter in as a photographic negative, suggesting some extraordinary type of interplay of light in the burning of the image. Second, the nail wounds are through the man's wrists rather than his hands, despite the unanimous and inaccurate medieval depiction of the nail wounds for crucified victims as being through the hands. Modern analysis indicates that the hands are not strong enough to sustain the weight of man on the cross, while the wrists would be. Third, all the indicators of the unique scourging and crucifixion of the man are present on the Shroud, when it is unlikely anyone else would have been both scourged and crucified. Computer analysis suggests the image of coins on the Shroud that date from the time of Pontius Pilate. As reported by the BBC, the leading secular British news source, "Mechthild Flury-Lemberg found that the fabric was woven in a three-to-one herringbone pattern, used for high quality cloths in the ancient world." Scientists have devoted years of work in analyzing the Shroud. Several of these scientists who have studied the Shroud converted to Christianity as a result.
