Thomas de Wesselow, art historian, is interviewed by Martha Teichner on the subject of the Shroud of Turin. The last time the Shroud was publicly displayed was 2010.

The history of the Shroud is well-chronicled. The shroud went to Damascus. Then Edessa, Constantinople.. Later, Lirey, France in 1355. In Turin, since 1578. Harold W. Attridge of Yale Divinity School analyzes the de Wesselow theory and book. In 1898, Pia photographed the shroud. In 1978, the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STRP). Thomas asserts chemical reaction. Like crust of bread going brown in oven. Teichner asks: what does this do to the Resurrection? Harold W. Attridge gives further points.
