The Shroud of Turin: Unveiling Scientific Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus

About this sermon

What did Jesus really look like? In today’s episode of The Greg Laurie Show, Pastor Greg sits down for the first of two conversations with renowned scholar Dr. Jeremiah Johnston to explore one of the most controversial and fascinating relics in Christian history: the Shroud of Turin. Could this ancient linen cloth really be the burial cloth of Christ—and offer visual, physical proof of both his crucifixion and resurrection? Together, Greg and Jeremiah unpack the artifact’s historical, scientific, and spiritual implications—using cutting-edge research, personal anecdotes, and relatable faith conversations from family life to Oxford University and beyond. Whether you’re a lifelong believer, honest skeptic, or just curious about the mysteries of faith, this conversation invites you to consider both the evidence and the enduring hope at the heart of the Gospel: “Because He lives, you shall live also.” If you prayed with Pastor Greg, receive your free copy of the New Believer's Bible here: https://harvest.org/request-material/ To view the artifacts mentioned in this conversation, check out the links below: Shroud of Turin: https://www.shroud.com/ Pilate Stone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate_stone Pantocrator Icon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_Pantocrator Israel Antiquities Museum: https://www.imj.org.il/en TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 600,000 Hours Studying Jesus’ Resurrection: No Hoax 01:22 Jeremiah’s Academic Journey from Oxford to Resurrection Research 04:13 Holding an Actual Roman Crucifixion Nail 06:38 Why the Resurrection Is Central to Christian Faith 09:17 Is the Shroud of Turin Authentic?
