Once I was a clever boy learning the arts of Oxford... is a quotation from the verses written by Bishop Richard Fleming (c.1385-1431) for his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral. Fleming, the founder of Lincoln College in Oxford, is the subject of my research for a D. Phil., and, like me, a son of the West Riding. I have remarked in the past that I have a deeply meaningful on-going relationship with a dead fifteenth century bishop... it was Fleming who, in effect, enabled me to come to Oxford and to learn its arts, and for that I am immensely grateful.

New evidence from the Shroud of Turin?


The Zenit website recently had a report about further research into the image on the cloth and suggesting that the front teeth of the lower jaw are visible in a way consistent with the effect of a burst of energy.

The main argument from that is that what is depicted on the cloth are indeed the effects of a release of radiant energy at the moment of Resurrection.
