One of the most mysterious and debated artifacts in history takes center stage in this special four-part investigative series on the Shroud of Turin, featuring historian and Shroud researcher Hugh Farey.
Approaching the subject with the careful, evidence-driven method that defines Bible Interact, we move beyond sensational claims and dismissive skepticism to examine what the data, history, and science actually say. Each episode tackles a major category of evidence, helping listeners understand why the Shroud continues to fascinate scholars, scientists, and the public alike.
If the Shroud is not authentic, how could it have been made? We examine the artistic, technological, and historical obstacles facing any medieval forgery theory and explore why the image remains difficult to reproduce even today.
Why This Series Matters
The Shroud of Turin sits at the intersection of archaeology, history, science, and faith. Whether one views it as a sacred relic, an unresolved mystery, or an ingenious artifact of the past, understanding the evidence is essential.
As always, Biblical Archaeology from the Ground Down seeks to place artifacts and claims within their proper historical and archaeological context—carefully, respectfully, and rigorously.
