This doesn't need to be a long article in order to nuke the whole "The shroud of Turin may be an image of Christ" idea. Ready? Here we go.
Description of the shroud of Turin:
The Shroud of Turin is a 14 foot long linen cloth (singular) bearing the image of a crucified man.
Description of the cloths (plural) that Jesus had on him as mentioned in the Bible:
"So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths (plural) with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews." (John 19:40)
"Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths (plural) lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself."(John 20:40)
So this makes the Shroud of Turin totally irrelevant, since it is one single cloth. Not two, as the Bible CLEARLY describes.
Have a good day.
