Review (in 1996):

Whether you believe it’s the actual burial cloth of Jesus, or just another chic headstone rubbing, there’s no denying the world’s fascination with the Shroud of Turin.  The Shroud’s true origins are a mystery, and have been the subject of speculation for some time.  At this unusual site, good photo reproductionslet you get about as close to the Shroud as you ever will, while the excellent question-and-answer file reveals the cloth to be made of linen and just over 14 feet long.

A discussion of the 1988 Carbon 14 dating test (which asserted that the Shroud’s origin is medieval, not biblical) directly contradicts some researchers’ findings that the cloth is a Mandylion relic.  The final decision, as always, must be the viewer’s.
