Shroud Secrets with Russ
Episode 43
Friday, 28 November, 2025
In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy Powell speaks with leading Shroud researcher and lecturer Russ Breault. Drawing from years of investigation, Breault offers remarkable insights into why the Shroud may serve as a visual extension of the Gospel and how it can deepen our understanding of the suffering and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.Breault explains how Scripture provides a forensic blueprint of Jesus’ wounds. Yet the Gospels give very few details about His physical suffering. He argues that the Shroud fills these gaps by presenting a “gospel written on linen.” This makes the Shroud an invaluable artifact for understanding both history and theology.The conversation explores early Christian persecution, secrecy surrounding relics, and the possible reason no Gospel mentions a burial cloth with an image. Breault also discusses Peter’s “sheet vision” in Acts 10 as a symbolic reference that may parallel the Shroud.Another key topic is the biblical requirement for multiple witnesses. Breault describes how the empty tomb, the Shroud, and the Sudarium form three powerful testimonies pointing to the Resurrection.Listeners will appreciate the blend of faith, history, and scientific reasoning. Breault shares why the Shroud continues to inspire researchers, believers, and scholars worldwide.
