Every once in a while the "Shroud of Turin" thing raises its head. In today's Chicago Tribune there's an article on Oxford University's agreement to re-examine the ST.
Christopher Ramsey, head of the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit, says: "There is a lot of other evidence that suggests to many that the shroud is older than the radiocarbon dates allow, and so further research is certainly needed. Only by doing this will people be able to arrive at a coherent history of the shroud which takes into account and explains all of the available scientific and historical information."
For me, this is interesting, but finally irrelevant to my following of Jesus. If the ST is the real thing, cool. It fits within my paradigm. If not, it makes no difference to me.
