Is the Shroud of Turin REALLY the burial cloth of Jesus, or the greatest hoax of all time? Why has this ancient artifact continued to puzzle scientists for decades? Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston returns to explain why, after years of research, he’s gone from thinking the shroud was a joke, to traveling around the world as one of its biggest advocates. What changed his mind? Join Frank and Jeremiah as they examine the Shroud’s astonishing forensic details up-close and personal while answering questions like:

  • What first sparked Jeremiah’s interest in the Shroud of Turin?
  • What’s the difference between an artifact and a relic, and why does it matter?
  • How many scientists have studied the Shroud of Turin?
  • Where did the shroud come from and how does it align with the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ death and burial?
  • Why does Jeremiah say the Shroud is an “itemized receipt” of how much Jesus loves us?
  • What does science and forensics evidence related to blood, pollen, and limestone reveal about the image?
  • Why hasn’t anyone been able to replicate the image on the Shroud?
  • What are the strongest objections to its authenticity?
  • How is the Shroud being used today to point people to Christ?

If we’re reasonable people who follow the evidence, how much evidence does it take for you to believe that something is real or evidential? It’s time to look at the evidence for the Shroud of Turin and decide for yourself!

Is the Shroud of Turin a genuine relic of Christ’s burial or an elaborate medieval forgery? One of the most fascinating artifacts tied to Christianity, this ancient cloth continues to puzzle scientists and historians. What does the latest research reveal about the Shroud and what should we conclude about its validity based on the available evidence?

This week on the podcast, CrossExamined board member Dan Hodges sits down with New Testament scholar and resurrection expert, Dr. Gary Habermas, at the SES Steadfast Conference for an in-depth exploration of the Shroud of Turin. In their discussion, Dan and Dr. Habermas examine the complex history and preservation of the Shroud, digging into why it has captivated both scholars and skeptics for decades. Together, they’ll tackle questions such as:

  • What are the most crucial questions for assessing the Shroud’s authenticity?
  • Could the burial cloth of Jesus truly have survived for nearly 2,000 years?
  • What evidence supports or refutes the theory that the Shroud was created in the Middle Ages? Could it depict someone other than Jesus?
  • How do non-biblical sources, archaeology, and medical research contribute to our understanding of crucifixion practices?
  • What kind of event could have imprinted the image of a 6 ft., 180 lb. man on this ancient cloth?

As Dr. Habermas unpacks over 40 years of Shroud research, discover why this remarkable artifact continues to be a point of discussion in Christian apologetics and Church history. Has Gary’s research brought him closer to confirming its connection to the historical Jesus, or is there still room for skepticism regarding its origins, mysterious markings, and worldwide impact? Tune in for the answers from one of the leading experts himself!
