Blood, Artifacts, and Resurrection: The Scientific Case for Jesus
What if the strongest evidence for Jesus isn’t just theological, but archaeological? From the Shroud of Turin to forensic blood analysis, this changes how the story is understood.
In this Thursday Deep Dive, Keith Malinak sits down with Dr. Jeremiah Johnston to examine the historical and scientific case surrounding Jesus, including the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo.
What begins as a discussion on ancient artifacts quickly expands into a broader question: how strong is the historical record of Jesus, and what does modern science actually reveal about the crucifixion and resurrection? From blood trauma analysis to pollen evidence and burial traditions, this episode explores claims that continue to challenge both skeptics and believers.
Dr. Johnston brings decades of research into the historical Jesus, offering insight into how archaeology, science, and recorded history intersect in ways that are often overlooked. This is Part 1 of an ongoing deep dive into one of the most debated topics in history.
