My Most Requested Case Ever: Investigating the Shroud of Turin

About this sermon

In this episode, cold-case homicide detective and Christian apologist J. Warner Wallace finally turns his investigative lens on one of the most talked-about religious artifacts in history: the Shroud of Turin. 🕵️‍♂️✝️ Is it a medieval forgery created for profit, or a powerful piece of physical evidence that points to the crucifixion of Jesus? J. Warner walks through the chain of custody, the historical record, the science, the forensics, and the limits of what any piece of evidence can actually prove. 🧪📜 Drawing on decades of experience in front of juries, he explains how a detective thinks about artifacts, competing explanations, and “reasonable doubt,” and why—even if the Shroud were authentic—it still wouldn’t replace the historical case for the resurrection grounded in eyewitness testimony. ⚖️ If you’ve ever wondered whether Christians should use the Shroud of Turin when making a case for Christianity, or avoid it altogether, this episode is for you. 📘 Grab the book that launched the investigation-based approach to Christian faith: Cold-Case Christianity 👉 https://amzn.to/42XtJhu 🎧 Listen and subscribe to the Cold-Case Christianity Podcast on Apple Podcasts: 👉 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cold-case-christianity-podcast/id259695657 🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to the Cold-Case Christianity podcast on all major platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and more) so you never miss an episode. 👍 Like this video if you find it helpful, 🔔 Subscribe to our YouTube channel, 📲 And share it with someone who’s curious about the evidence for Christianity.
