Latest research confirms 1st-century date of Shroud of Turin

Nuclear engineer says latest research confirms first-century date of Shroud of Turin

Monday, September 30th, 2024

For centuries, Christians have attributed the Shroud of Turin a first-century date. Nuclear engineer Robert Rucker says his latest research on the shroud verifies that.

“The Shroud of Turin is the second-most valuable possession of the human race next to the Bible itself,” Rucker told CNA. The shroud is currently preserved in the Chapel of the Holy Shroud adjacent to St John the Baptist Cathedral in Turin (Torino), Italy.

For more than 10 years, Rucker has studied the physics of the disappearance of the body of Jesus and its imprint on the shroud. His website, Shroud Research, challenges conclusions that the shroud dates to the period of 1260 to 1380 AD, leading sceptics to conclude it is a medieval fake.
