The Shroud Rises: As the Carbon Date is Buried

'In September 2024, headlines swept the world: a new test had dated the Shroud of Turin – the ‘Shroud of Jesus Christ’ – to the first century. At the same time, research confirmed the much publicised carbon dating of the Shroud to the Middle Ages was fatally flawed. Other research added to the mountain of evidence for the Shroud’s authenticity. There is now only one conclusion: there is no room for doubt that the Shroud is the burial cloth of Jesus.' Thus begins William West's second book on the Shroud, which follows his first, widely acclaimed book, Riddles of the Shroud: Questions Science Can't Answer. This time, West digs deeper into the carbon dating and says what he discovered 'floored' him. William West has been a journalist and editor for 50 years. He spent almost two decades working on The Australian newspaper in many roles, including higher education editor and legal writer. He has been an editor of several magazines, including Perspective magazine and Education Review. His first book on the Shroud, Riddles of the Shroud: Questions Science Can’t Answer, was an introduction to the scientific and historical research that have made the Shroud the most researched artifact in history. This book covers new discoveries that have changed the world’s perspective on the Shroud of Jesus forever.
