New Testament scholar Jeremiah J. Johnston is on a mission to explore archeological evidence for Jesus. Johnston, an expert on the famed Shroud of Turin, believes various findings can help corroborate the biblical narrative.
His new book, “The Jesus Discoveries: 10 Historic Finds That Bring Us Face-to-Face with Jesus,” explores “discoveries that support the authenticity of the Bible, the resurrection of Jesus, and the reasonableness of Christianity.”
Johnston told CBN News some Christians don’t necessarily believe they need outside evidence for the Bible.

“There’s many great Christians out there … they walk up to me in our events and around the world, and they say, ‘Hey, I don’t need all that evidence. I have the Bible. … I have my faith,’” he said. “Well, I want to make this very clear. There would not have been a single New Testament book written had Jesus Christ not evidentially shown Himself to be alive physically, bodily, after He was crucified by the Roman Empire.”
Ultimately, Johnston said it’s important for believers to recognize this sentiment and not ignore the significance of such powerful evidence. He looked to specific areas of the Bible to drive home this fact.
“Remember how Luke opens his Gospels,” he said. “He’s literally presenting the case for Jesus through many infallible proofs. Even Acts 1:3 said Jesus proved himself to be alive through many convincing proofs.”
