summary:
The Shroud of Turin is the most famous Catholic relic. No one doubts this. But beyond this, does this piece of cloth have anything to say to the academic world? Can it constitute an object of scientific study?
After test carbon-14, shouldn't we consider the scientific question about the Shroud to be settled? The answer is clearly no. A recent article published in the Times states: "this relic remains an enigma for our time". The New York Times" also said: "[the Shroud is] a marvel of our scientific age". This seminar room will review three important moments in the history of the Shroud of Turin from which we can draw lessons for scientists, philosophers and theologians, serving to enrich the dialogue between science and faith in today's debates.
