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 the test of carbon 14, shouldn't we consider the scientific question about the Shroud as settled? The answer is clearly negative. In a recent article published in Times it is affirmed: "this relic continues being an enigma for our time". In "The New York Times" it was also said: "[the Shroud is] a wonder of our scientific age". This seminar will review three important moments in the history of the Shroud of Turin from which we can draw valid lessons for scientists, philosophers and theologians, serving to enrich the dialogue between science and faith in current debates.
