Was Jesus' resurrection only an optical illusion on Turin Shroud?
Cambridge art historian Thomas de Wesselow has proposed a new theory that purports to explain the resurrection of Jesus. He claims that the image on the Shroud was the optical illusion that fooled the Apostles into believing that Jesus had risen.
The mystery of the Turin Shroud with its ghostly image considered by many authorities an authentic photographic negative that matches the details of the biblical crucifixion narrative has fascinated Christian Europe since it first surfaced in the thirteenth century. Even in the twenty first century, the Shroud continues to inspire devotion and a sense of divine mystery for many although the official position of the Catholic Church is that the Shroud is only a representation of Jesus' crucified body and not his actual linen wrap....
If Cambridge art historian Thomas de Wesselow were really interested in "The mystery of the Turin Shroud" could I prompt him to give a cursory glance at http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:20th-century_hoaxes and I trust the penny will drop. I will not give credence to his silly questioning The Resurrection of Jesus Christ by addressing it. The "art historian" should Read & believe the scriptures because Ps 119:130 says, The entrance of thy words giveth light. It giveth understanding unto the simple.

They lost me after "A Cambridge art historian" - I would possibly read the article if the person was an actual expert in a credible subject. His theory is not based on any sort of factual information, but on "the premise that to ancients, images had a special mystical significance lost in modern times".
