	:: "In the old days, people didn't see images the way we see them now. ... Before the modern world, images were special. People understood them and felt them to be alive. This is the instinct known as animism. Anthropologists find this everywhere they look. You and I are natural animists. This is the way that people respond to images naturally. The Shroud fell into that category, and would have been perceived as a quasi-living double of Jesus. Because it's found in the tomb after His death, it would have been perceived as a form of Jesus resurrected. That's the hypothesis that I then go on to prove from the gospel, especially from St. Paul. Fourteen foot long. Vanishingly faint. Within six feet of it, the image fades from view. If you stand back, you can still see the image. Haunting effect. Moves in and out of view. It's about the psychological impact of that image. The eyes look as if they are open. They look massive and as if they are glowing with an inner light. It is important to understand the effect of that psychologically, when people had the idea of images as alive and rare. I believe you can reconstruct the history of the resurrection. Most ancient Jews were expecting some kind of resurrection. They didn't quite how. This concept they would have used to explain this image is "resurrection." I'm presenting this as what I think for myself is a convincing theory. I believe the shroud would have been perceived animistically and therefore would have been the cause of belief in the resurrection. I believe it is historically provable, especially through St. Paul. This image is far more mysterous, interesting, and influential than has been thought. The fact that it is a negative image is really important, and is an easy thing to grasp. We needed photography to reveal the hidden, realistic image in the shroud. This could not have been conceived in the Middle Ages or represented in its negative form. Maillard reaction is the best explanation for how the image was made. Ray Rogers, 2002. Wrote paper with food chemist. Product of decomposition gases from the dead body reacting with deposits on the surface of the cloth. ~~Type of reaction:~~ Maillard reaction~~.
