The scientific study of the Turin Shroud is
like a microcosm of the scientific search for
God. It does more to inflame any debate
than settle it . . . . And yet, the shroud is a
remarkable artifact, one of the few
religious relics to have a justifiably mythical
status.
It is simply not known how the
ghostly image of a serene, bearded man
was made.
