Prepare to stand face-to-face with history, science, and faith. For one remarkable evening in the Cincinnati region, we invite you to encounter what many consider the most compelling physical relic connected to Jesus Christ — the Shroud of Turin — alongside Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, a renowned scholar who will be joining us in person to guide you through the evidence.
Explore the Shroud Exhibit:
A journey into the life, death, and resurrection of the Man in the Shroud. Whether you come curious, skeptical, or believing, you will leave changed by the weight of scientific and historical evidence now converging on one profound question: Who is the Man of the Shroud?
Who is Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston?
Dr. Jeremiah Johnston is a respected New Testament scholar, apologist, and speaker whose work bridges rigorous research and compelling public engagement. Once a skeptic of the Shroud, he was profoundly transformed by his own encounter with the evidence. Today, Dr. Johnston Ph.D., M.Div., M.A., B.A., ministers internationally as president of Christian Thinkers Society. Author of nearly 20 books, Bible studies, a study Bible published by Oxford University Press, E. J. Brill, Bloomsbury T & T Clark, Macmillan, Mohr Siebeck, LifeWay, Harper Collins/Thomas Nelson, and appearances on Fox News, TheBlaze, CNN, CBS This Morning, Vanity Fair, Premier Christianity Magazine & Premier Radio, RELEVANT Magazine, DECISION Magazine, Salem Radio Network, and several other media outlets.
He brings to this exhibit experience a rare combination: academic credibility, spiritual passion, and an ability to translate complex scientific data into clear insights for every audience.
What You’ll Experience
As you move through the exhibit, you’ll engage with:
A museum-quality, full-size replica of the Shroud of Turin, presented in a way that reveals the depth of its forensic and historical data. Artifact replicas and visual displays highlighting the instruments and context of first-century crucifixion (Roman nails, a crown of thorns, flagrum, etc.)
Infographic panels and narrative walkthroughs that trace the journey of the Shroud across centuries, exploring pollen, soil, and blood-chemical evidence. An introductory film featuring Dr. Johnston setting the context before you enter the exhibit space.
A tactile and visual experience designed to provoke curiosity, wonder, and deep reflection — not just information.
Bringing the Man in the Shroud to Cincinnati and the Region
This is a rare and extraordinary opportunity for our region! The Shroud of Turin is one of the most intensively studied relics in history, a crossroads of science, archaeology, theology, and mystery. We are honored and thrilled to host Dr. Johnston—someone who has wrestled with the doubts, delved into the data, and emerged convinced. He will unpack for us what the science actually says, where the challenges lie, and what it might mean if we allow this evidence to speak into our faith.
If you’ve ever wondered: Is the resurrection a myth, a metaphor, or a measurable event? — this evening offers one of the strongest public forums to explore that question.
