"For example, thousands of men were crucified by Romans, but one only, Jesus, was crowned with thorns. "Science is not able to define the name of the Man that was wrapped there, but the perfect correspondence of the Gospels and of the Bible in general with the Shroud leads to think that that Man was just Jesus," Giulio Fanti, a professor of mechanical and thermal measurements at the University of Padua, told CBN News. Researchers in Padua (Italy) have unveiled a 3-D carbon copy of what Jesus looked like based on the precise measurements of the cloth. The Shroud of Turin is a 14-foot linen cloth that is believed to have wrapped the body of Jesus Christ after the crucifixion. Also, a demonstration that the Shroud was not associated with Jesus wouldn’t affect the case for Christianity since abundant evidence already exists for his death and resurrection.ĭo you think the Shroud is authentic? What about its usefulness for affirming the truth of Christianity? I hope that the articles and podcasts I’ve cited help you explore the Shroud in more depth so you can be equipped for knowledgeable discussions with people who want to know more.One of the most-well known relics in archeological history is leading researchers to believe that they know "the precise image of what Jesus looked like on this earth". Whether it belonged to Jesus or not doesn’t impact the truth of Christianity. We’re generally skeptical of the view that it was used in Jesus’s burial but we’re open to evidence demonstrating otherwise. In other words, it actually was used to wrap someone who was crucified. Additionally, we all tend to agree with the authenticity of the Shroud-not that it belonged to Jesus but that it’s not some type of forgery. We all agree that the Shroud provides evidence for the authority of Scripture by validating the description of crucifixion given in the Bible. Reasons to Believe (RTB) has no official position on the Shroud of Turin and each of the scholars have nuanced perspectives. ![]() For example, Bergeron thinks the Maillard reaction (a browning effect) caused the image where Habermas leans toward an explanation involving radiation. The data is ambiguous on the timing of the Shroud’s origin as well as what caused the image itself. Habermas specifically cites important developments that open the distinct possibility that the Shroud dates to the time of Christ. Additionally, it appears that there are solid reasons to doubt the reliability of the carbon-14 analysis that places the Shroud between 12 AD. Further, the image and stains on the shroud validate the Bible’s description of crucifixion. It seems indisputable that the Shroud came from someone who was crucified. In a Clear Thinking podcast, Kenneth Samples and Dave Rogstad discuss Gary Habermas’s thoughts on the authenticity of the Shroud. You can access these discussions in the embedded links or the videos below. Bergeron discussing what we know about the man behind the Shroud as well as the image on the Shroud. On our Stars, Cells, and God podcast, I spent two episodes with Dr. Gary Habermas has dedicated his professional life to the examination of the relevant historical, philosophical, and theological issues surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus. Joseph Bergeron, a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and a member of our Scholar Community, is a doctor with decades of experience evaluating musculoskeletal injuries. We recently interviewed two people with expertise relevant to the Shroud to help us understand what we know and what we don’t know about it. Often, the actual data and the popular conception don’t line up well and make it difficult to understand the complex issues surrounding the Shroud. The answer to that question relies on historical, scientific, and biblical data as well as input from many other disciplines. If true, the Shroud would provide compelling evidence for the truth of Christianity. This “separate” cloth has generated passionate interest today because many people think it might be the Shroud of Turin-believed to be Jesus’s burial cloth. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen.” On the morning of Jesus’s resurrection, Luke records that Peter “saw the strips of linen by themselves” whereas the Gospel of John states that Peter “saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. Luke and the other three Gospels include this account of Jesus’s burial after his crucifixion. Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. ![]()
