Examining the Shroud of Turin at Catholic Board

John Iannone was interviewed on Catholic Answers LIVE radio on June 12, 2008. He is the author of The Mystery of the Shroud of Turin: New Scientific Evidence (Alba House, 1998), a book that examines the famous “Shroud of Turin,” which some claim to be the actual ancient burial cloth of Jesus. In this interview, Iannone discusses the remarkable, unexplainable, and mysterious qualities scientists have discovered in their multiple examinations of the Shroud. Is the Shroud a medieval hoax - a unique forgery - or might it possibly be the actual cloth that enshrouded Jesus when he was buried in the garden tomb nearly two-thousand years ago? You’ll be fascinated by what you discover in this unique episode of Catholic Answers LIVE

Second Face


  • Because the Shroud of Turin is a religious object, believed by many to be the burial shroud of Jesus, and because scientists and historians have yet to prove or disprove its authenticity, it is controversial and interesting.

    Until recently skeptics had the upper hand in debates about the Shroud's authenticity. No more!

    1) Finding a second face on the back of the Shroud of Turin in 2004, 2) discovering Madder root dyestuff and splices in the carbon 14 sample site thus invalidating the C14 dating, and 3) realizing that the images may have been formed by a Maillard chemical reaction between amines from a body and a polysaccharide residue on the cloth are having profound implications in the study of the Shroud of Turin. All this is sobering news for those who want the images to be proof of a resurrection just as it is sobering for skeptics of authenticity.
