The Shroud of Turin in Scriptural and Jewish Context
By Tom Dallis
The Shroud of Turin is one of the most intriguing artifacts in history, but could it also provide a window into the burial of Jesus Christ as described in the Gospels?
In this paper, I examine the Shroud’s connection to first-century Jewish burial practices, drawing from archaeological evidence, biblical texts, and rabbinic literature. From its intricate herringbone weave to the bloodstains that challenge the possibility of forgery, Sacred Threads addresses key objections and offers a fresh perspective on its authenticity.
By combining historical, theological, and scientific insights, I demonstrate how the Shroud aligns with Second Temple burial traditions, offering a compelling case for its significance as more than a relic—it is a testament to history and faith.
