The Shroud of Turin was really the burial cloth of Christ, and it was responsible for making the Apostles believe Christ had risen from the dead, according to a new book.
The Daily Telegraph reports that historian Thomas de Wesselow makes these controversial claims inside “The Sign: The Shroud of Turin and the Secret of the Resurrection.”
The shroud was declared a forgery using carbon dating in 1988, but de Wesselow insists that examination was “deeply flawed,” according to The Guardian. That puts him in interesting company as an agnostic, since even the Vatican has accepted the results of the 1988 tests, the paper says.
Perhaps the more startling assertion made by de Wesselow is that it was the sight of the Shroud after the crucifixion, and not actually an encounter with a resurrected Christ, that made the apostles believe Jesus came back to life. In other words, the disciples mistook the image on the Shroud for the real body of Christ.
