What happens when a journalist with a skeptical mind dives deep into the world’s greatest unsolved mystery? In a recent interview on The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, journalist William West shares his remarkable transformation—from doubter to believer—in the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin.
West first encountered the Shroud through a documentary in 1980. Like many others, he was later swayed by the now-infamous 1988 carbon dating results that dated the cloth to the Middle Ages. But as he dug deeper into the evidence, the flaws in that narrative began to unravel. West explains how the original data was hidden for nearly three decades and how once revealed, it showed statistically invalid results. Even more compelling is the consistent scientific evidence showing that the cloth contains traces of Jerusalem soil, springtime pollen only found in the Holy Land, and an image with 3D qualities that defies medieval capabilities.
His newest book, The Shroud Rises as the Carbon Date is Buried, calls out the politicized mishandling of the carbon dating process and makes a powerful case for the Shroud being the authentic burial cloth of Jesus Christ. West’s story is not only informative but inspirational—reminding us of the importance of open inquiry, faith, and perseverance in uncovering truth.
