The Shroud of Turin is one of the most studied and debated religious artefacts in human history. The 14-foot linen cloth bears the image of a bearded man, leading many Christians to believe it lay on top of the body of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion; it has the likeness, the contours and the wound marks to match.

However researchers have discredited that explanation; arguing it may be a scorch or a painting - and a high profile study released last week used 3D modelling tools to determine the shroud may have rested atop a statue, not a person.

So, are we any closer to understanding whether the shroud is proof of Christ - or a medieval hoax? Piers Morgan speaks to professor and pastor at the Christian Thinkers Society, Jeremiah Johnston, Shroud of Turin Research Project’s Dr. Joseph S. Accetta and ‘The Thinking Atheist’ host Seth Andrews.
