When I published the first edition of my Historical Reliability of the Gospels in 1987, I included a paragraph that was cautiously optimistic about the Shroud of Turin as the possible burial cloth of Jesus.  The very next year, the results of three independent laboratory tests from different parts of the world were released, agreeing that the cloth could not be dated to earlier than the 1200s or thereabouts.  I knew that if the book ever went to a second edition that paragraph would have to be replaced.
