In arguing that the source of light that created the body image on the Shroud came from within the body, the authors observed that "neither the outside or inside of the tomb, nor the outside or inside of either the front or back sides of the cloth" are found on the Shroud's image.

"This means that the source of light does not originate outside of the body, the cloth or the tomb, but with the body itself," they write. "The weave of the inner part of the cloth containing the frontal and dorsal images is note even part of the distinctive images, which they too, would have been, if the light came from anywhere outside the body."

I don’t think this is a ‘new’ theory on how the Shroud of Turin was created. It sounds more like acknowledgment that the original theory was true.

One thing does puzzle me. Considering the 3-d form the shroud was wrapped around, why isn’t the face markings especially broad from side to side when the cloth is laid flat? IMO it looks like a painting of someone, the result of putting an image on a flat surface while looking at a 3-d one.

Regardless of it’s authenticity, if people will get into the Word because of it, then that’s a good start.

Maybe it’s been in RC hands for centuries, but maybe it’s been sort of a ‘traveling trophy’, latched onto by whoever managed to control the regions through the centuries. Look at the mooslimbs; they have laid claim to and/or occupy parts of Jerusalem considered holy by Jews/Christians. (yeah, kinda wicked comparison though)
