                                                                  life away.





                                                                                   So, then, I need to share with you what I’ve been doing while you were out of town. I hope it



                                                              John 19:28–29

                                                                  agrees with your agenda for the meeting. First, I’ve taken my gospel lessons from Alex very seriously. I study scripture morning and night. I’ve also kept up my work with the Diatessaron. These two avenues of investigation, together, have repaid me richly. Brace yourself, because I’m about to use a word that, at this late stage in the process, probably



                                                              Mark 15:45–46

                                                                  horrifies you. I’ve made a discovery. Yes. What I’ve found erases everything I thought I knew about the Turin Shroud. It demolishes what we both expected to be the central message of my



                                                              John 19:38–40

                                                                  keynote. It might come as a surprise—or even as a shock—to the guests you’re inviting to the



                                                              Luke 24:36–40

                                                                  exhibit. For it proves that the Turin Shroud



                                                              John 20:19–20

                                                                  has a dark past. The radiocarbon verdict killed serious scholarship on the Shroud’s history before 1300 AD, but now, as that past comes to light, I think a small minority of our audience may find the truth harder to accept than the old idea that the Shroud
