Episode Details

Could the Shroud of Turin provide scientific evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Fr. Gregory Pine, OP, welcomes Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ, President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith, to explore one of Christianity's most fascinating mysteries: the Shroud of Turin.

Believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus, the Shroud has fascinated scientists, historians, and believers for centuries. But what does the scientific evidence actually reveal? Fr. Spitzer examines the controversial 1988 carbon dating, the mysterious three-dimensional image, the bloodstains that appear to correspond to the Gospel accounts of Christ's crucifixion, and theories about how the image may have formed.

Together, they explore whether the Shroud points beyond natural explanations and what it might tell us about the Resurrection. Join us for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of science, history, faith, and reason.
