• A ‘PASSION’ REVIEW: A MASTER STORYTELLER PRESENTS A CRUCIFIED CHRIST.
• (Pictured: Jim Caviezel plays Jesus in The Passion of The Christ).
• All that to say: The Passion of The Christ reveals Gibson as a maturing filmmaker in his prime as a storyteller, and the movie makes it nearly impossible to keep him typecast as the star of the Mad Max/Lethal Weapon-styled movies. ...
• The Passion of The Christ is both beautiful and brutal, capturing an authentic human spirit that is often missing in biblical movies, those where everyone tends to act stiflingly serious and talk in pious this-is-all-so-important tones. ...
• This is a film layered with artistry and historic metaphor, and if you look closely, I think you’ll see Gibson’s homage to some of the great master paintings of Christ’s Passion.

• Caviezel as Christ is clearly modeled after the Shroud of Turin, an ancient burial cloth inexplicably imprinted with the image of a crucified man, similar to a modern photographic negative. There are some who believe this is the burial shroud of Jesus and the image provides a supernatural picture of Christ. ...
• Related to the Shroud, the film is naturally informed by a Catholic text (Gibson is a Catholic believer) and so some of the scenes dramatize the extra-biblical explanations for ancient holy relics, or the extra-biblical stories of what may have happened as Christ walked the Via Dolorosa to Calvary. ...
• For instance, I like the fact that Peter’s denials of Christ are impulsive and quick, near hysterical denials made in the grip of fear, as opposed to the typical telling where the whole world comes to a stop to hear each denial. ...
• If you push past all the hype and all the controversy, and even all the plans of using the film for evangelism, I think you’ll find The Passion of The Christ is a great work of art, the product of a gifted storyteller striving toward a master work. ...

• It describes in some detail how the couple discovered objects on the linen cloth which relate to the era of the crucifixion - coins on the eyes, flowers, nails, spear heads, all of which suggest methods used at the time of Jesus' death.

Those who believe the shroud is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ say that the energy came at the moment of resurrection. ...
• Years ago, when a carbon dating process seemed to suggest that the Shroud was not authentic, a scientist who had worked on it over the years remarked, "The only thing that would be more miraculous than that the shroud is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ would be for it to be a forgery. ...

• It may or may not be a relic of Christ, but unlike a bone of some saint or an alleged piece of the cross, the Shroud is unique in its ability to be analyzed. No other known relic has a blood stained image on it corresponding exactly with Christ's painful ordeal. We may never prove absolutely that it is the Shroud used to cover Christ in the tomb, but if we could, it would be as significant as discovering Noah's Ark. ...
• Jesus was controversial he still is! If it was believed to be the image of some unknown murder victim, who would care? But because many believe the cloth bears the markings of Christ's crucifixion and maybe even his resurrection it will always be controversial no matter what new evidence is found. ...

• The presentation focus of STEP is not to prove the Shroud to be authentic or to prove Christ by way of the Shroud. ... Jewish burial practices and first century crucifixion techniques are even explored. ...
• The Bible also records that he purchased the linen cloth in which he was wrapped. ...
• Did the resurrection of Christ from the grave mark the cloth to give us the image we see today? Are the bloodstains on the cloth from his wounds of crucifixion? It has not been proven to be so, nor have we proven that it is not. ...
• almost everything we know about the cloth suggests a first century, Middle East origin. It is not the work of an artist and the notion of it being a deliberate medieval murder emulating Christ's crucifixion is even more bizarre. Besides corpses don't produce images on burial shrouds. ...

• My answer on what it means to be a Christian is that one must be converted through a relationship with Christ.

• The Shroud of Turin is considered by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus after He was Crucified. ...
• The Shroud is a piece of linen cloth 14'3" long by 3'7" wide. ...
• The implication is that this long cloth was laid flat, the body was laid on top of it and then the other half of the cloth was folded back over the body. This situation may certainly have been true for whoever the person was whose image is preserved in the cloth. Modern science cannot explain how the images could have appeared in the cloth and cannot duplicate the results by any known means.
• Burial Rituals.
• This organization of life included burial rituals.
• John 19:38-40 is very precise in indicating that Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus prepared Jesus' body in the manner of the Jews for proper burial. This procedure involves extensive wrapping of the body, while including a LOT of myrrh and aloes that would get placed between the various layers of cloth. ...
• Merrill Tenney describes the Jewish custom as follows: In preparing a body for burial according to Jewish custom, it was usually washed and straightened, and then bandaged tightly from the armpits to the ankles in strips of linen about a foot wide. ... They served partially as a preservative and partially as a cement to glue the cloth wrappings into a solid covering. ...
• In some parts of Syria, this burial custom is still observed. ...
• The point being made here is that in either case, this complex and involved wrapping of many narrow strips of cloth would naturally have stuck together so strongly as to effectively make a relatively rigid 'cocoon' around the body.
• A small separate 'face cloth' or 'napkin' was generally placed on the face or around the head. John 20:7 refers to this separate cloth, so this aspect of the custom was definitely used regarding Jesus. Rather than ONE piece of cloth, certainly at least two separate pieces are described here.

• The 1988 study used carbon dating techniques and also identified some of the cloth material as being from Europe. ... The new evidence was taken from the entire cloth, while the earlier radiocarbon dating came from a tiny piece of the cloth , which some surmise could have been a piece of one of the many attempts to restore the ancient relic. ...
• Two pollen grains of the species were also found on the Sudarium of Oviedo, believed to be the burial face cloth of Jesus. ...
• So, for centuries, many faithful Christians have believed that the Shroud of Turin was literally the burial cloth of Christ, miraculously produced when He was resurrected from the dead. The remarkable image on the cloth is similar to a photographic negative, and some argue that it could not have been produced by natural means, but only by supernatural. ...
• This new story made me wonder about the Baha'i understanding of the crucifixion and especially the resurrection of Christ. ...
• So I hauled out my copy of "Some Answered Questions" and I re-read the short chapter entitled "The Resurrection of Christ" which is found on pages 103 to 105 of my paperback copy of "Some Answered Questions". ...
• Abdul Baha had the following things to say about the resurrection of Christ: .
• "Therefore, we may say that the meaning of Christ's resurrection is as follows: the disciples were troubled and agitated after the martyrdom of Christ. The Reality of Christ, which signify His teachings, His bounties, His perfections and His spiritual power, was hidden for two or three days after His martyrdom, and was not resplendent and manifest. ... The Cause of Christ was like a lifeless body; and when after three days the disciples became assured and steadfast, and began to serve the Cause of Christ, and resolved to spread the divine teachings, putting His counsels into practice, and arising to serve Him, The Reality of Christ became resplendent and His bounty appeared; His religion found life, His teachings and His admonitions became evident and visible. In other words, the Cause of Christ was like a lifeless body until the life and the bounty of the Holy Spirit surrounded it. ...
• Such is the meaning of the resurrection of Christ, and this was a true resurrection. But as the clergy have neither understood the meaning of the Gospels nor comprehended the symbols, therefore, it has been said that religion is in contradiction to science, and science in opposition to religion, as, for example, this subject of the ascension of Christ with an elemental body to the visible heavens is contrary to science and mathmatics. ...
• For since there can be no more sensitive subject, for Christians, than the bodily resurrection of Christ; Abdul Baha's interpretation is breathtaking in its significance. ...
• For many have based their entire hope and faith on the bodily resurrection of Christ; indeed, many have been declared heretics and have even died, for denying it. The Shroud of Turin itself, has been made into perhaps the most important and potent Talisman for some Christian believers, who see in it a hope that there might someday be "scientific" evidence, and maybe even outright proof, of the miraculous bodily resurrection of Christ. ...

• Jeffrey also discusses evidence found in the catacombs, the first–century Christian burial places under Rome.

• Christ's Burial  - startling new evidence .
•   This quite misses the reality that there is seen a total body (burial) covering of what seems to be coinage!  This covering has no ending, is part and parcel with the entire body image, both front and back!  If you have seen the original 1977 USA Conference report, a 3-D computer construct was printed, and I feel even you will agree that it is hardly human looking.   Later, via computer manipulation, the "supposed" image of Christ was made to look more human, as it were, muted (faked), and then fronted to the world as the true face of Yeshua, the Savior. ...
• The entire image of Christ has "muted" hidden information that not only brings out the 3-D nature of his body, but also the unknown coverings overspreading all. ...
•  It seems most all researchers want Christ to have received a total Hebrew burial. ...
• Yet, no better way is often found to date a ruin ( OR BURIAL) than via coinage, none, except (thought many)  carbon-14 dating. ...   As you might know, the results were that the Turin Shroud is only about 40% old enough to be Christ's. ...
•   Over time, the waste products of microbes eating on old cloth builds up and shifts the surface area into a more modern product. ...   If indeed coinage was imaged with Christ, it is hard to imagine that this is by chance; compare to the photo of a kidnap victim with the clear image of today's newspaper, not by happenstance at all! .
• Not at all to a non-existent custom of burial with coins over the eyes - that was for other times and places, not lst century Judea. ...
•  Researchers, it seems, are afraid or unwilling to look away from the eye area in the study of coinage atop Christ in the tomb. ...
•   Does this fact bring into doubt the venerableness of said Shroud?  Hardly, for so also was Christ rejected. ...
•  Even the wounded image of Christ himself, is it idolatry to venerate?  Should the objects atop Christ be swallowed whole by the faithful and not be choked upon?  Are we all mature enough to take the good with the bad?  (literally in this case); images of Caesar and demons mixed with those of his competitor, Jesus ("are you a king then?"). ...
•  I had written to dozens of researchers back in the early 1980's on the subject, even to consider the involvement of the Roman tomb-guard, in the final covering of Christ, before the door-stone was rolled in place. ...
•  So what was formed that day might well be called the first camera and photo image; in part, it would seem ,constructed by Christ's own tormenters, the Roman military. ...

• Many believe that The Shroud of Turin is the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ, and that the man seen in the cloth's image (in photograph) is that of The Lord. Apart from (disputed) carbon-dating tests that show it to be only about 600 years old, there is at least one other strong proof that The Savior is not the man in the cloth which is idolized by millions of people.
• The Bible makes no specific description of what Jesus Christ looked like, and there are no known images of Him in existence, such as their are, for example, for Roman emperors (e. ...
• Unlike many religious pictures that portray Jesus as a pale, skinny, effeminate man with long hair and wearing a flowing white or pink robe (all of which may well be far closer to what Satan looks like), Christ could have looked nothing like that. ...

• A controversy exists as to whether the Turin Shroud, allegedly the burial cloth of Jesus, is real or a fake. ...
• At the time of its first appearance there was controversy as to whether of not it was the real burial shroud of Christ.
• 1) The shroud does not exhibit any wrinkle gaps in its image as one would expect when a cloth is draped over a body.
• 2) The shroud's image contradicts earlier portrayals of burial customs preserved in Early Christian art. A number of relief sculptures and murals exist, made by early Christians showing Lazarus being resurrected from the dead by Christ. ... A face cloth is also shown bound over the head. Clearly such bindings with their accompanying wrinkles are not present of the Turin burial cloth. ...
• 3) Christ's burial cloth is portrayed in murals as like Lazarus', wrapped or wound about the body in a criss-crossed fashion (rather like that used on ancient Egyptian mummies and still practiced into Ptolemaic times, in Egypt), the criss-crossing cloth being held in place by red strap-like bindings, NOT draped over the body as in the Turin shroud. ... the mural of an angel showing three women Christ's open sarchopagus, with a tightly bound burial shroud and separate binding for the head (p. ...
• 4) The New Testament in describing Lazarus' resurrection suggests he is bound by his burial shroud and it is expressly said that his bonds must be loosened and he is to be set free. Such a situation cannot apply to the Turin shroud for it shows no evidence of being bound about Christ's body, but merely loosely draped atop it.
• " The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with bandages, and his face wrapped with a cloth. ...
• Even more damning, Christ is portrayed as having his burial shroud WRAPPED about his body in Scripture, John suggesting a number of cloths were used for the binding.
• John 19: 40 (RSV)"They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. ...
• 5) The earliest Christian representations of Christ  of the 4th-6th century AD, do NOT portray him with a moustache and beard, he is shown clean shaven in bas-reliefs .
• Christian art began to show Christ moustached and bearded about the 6th-7th century AD.

• All kinds of theories go around, except for the correct one! Whatever the shroud of Turin may be, it is absolutely not the burial cloth of Christ. ... From those verses it is clear that Christ was buried in swathes and that a separate headcloth was used!.

• The Shroud, which has been stored in the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista in Turin Italy since 1578, is believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. ... All of these are consistent with the marks on the body of Jesus Christ. ...
• Many believed that this cloth was manufactured during Medieval times using various paints and pigments to create the image of Jesus. ...
• In 1988 three separate laboratories from three different countries were given a small sample of the cloth to test. Each laboratory performed carbon-14 dating to find out how old the cloth was. Each test determined that the cloth was made sometime during the 13th or 14th century. With all three tests reporting the same findings it was concluded that the cloth could not have been the one used to wrap the body of Jesus. ...
• Close analysis of pollen and images of plants taken from the Shroud show that the cloth dates back to at least the 8th century BC. The same pollen samples were also noted on the Sudarium of Oviedo, which many believe to be the burial face cloth of Jesus. ... These two characteristics make it possible for the cloth to be in fact the Shroud that Jesus was buried in. ...
• Until science can provide us with a definite answer we can all draw our own conclusions whether or not the image on the Shroud is that of Jesus Christ. ...

•  On one level, this question is easily answered : the Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth 14 feet 3 inches long by 3 feet 7 inches wide bearing the distinct image of a crucified man. ...   What are the origins of the Shroud?  How was the image imprinted upon it?  Whose image is imprinted on it?  Conclusions about the Shroud and its origin range from its being an unusual work of religious art made in Medieval Europe to its being the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ. ...
