(Program 10857)
Guests: Dr. J. Wayne Phillips

No scientific inquiry is without its challenges. And such has been the case with research on one of the most investigated relics of antiquity - the Shroud of Turin.

Seemingly contradictory evidence emerged in 1988 that all but stopped further study. But, as it turns out, the very thing that could have halted investigation of the Shroud eventually became the means through which even more evidence to its authenticity was discovered.

Our guest this week is Dr. J. Wayne Phillips, an allergist whose interest in the Shroud was piqued because of his medical specialty. Today, he is going to take us through the labyrinthine tale of the carbon dating of the Shroud.
