Shroud of Turin: Flawed Science?

In this riveting episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy Powell interviews veteran journalist and editor William West, author of Riddles of the Shroud and The Shroud Rises as the Carbon Date is Buried. William shares his decades-long journey investigating what he believes is the most profound mystery of all time: the Shroud of Turin.

William takes us back to 1980 when he was first intrigued by David Rolfe’s award-winning documentary, The Silent Witness, and brings us through to the recent revelations that the 1988 carbon dating test was not only flawed but deliberately mishandled. He discusses how original data was kept secret for 28 years, and how peer-reviewed studies now reveal that the dating results failed basic statistical validity.

West walks listeners through the scientific and forensic evidence—from Jerusalem soil and springtime pollen to the 3D qualities and absence of pigment—proving this could not have been a medieval forgery. He also discusses the Sudarium of Oviedo and how its bloodstains match those on the Shroud.

Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or just curious, this episode offers rich insight into the most debated relic in Christianity and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Discover how scientific inquiry and faith converge in this historical mystery.
