Summary

This week on the podcast, CrossExamined board member Dan Hodges sits down with New Testament scholar and resurrection expert, Dr. Gary Habermas, for an in-depth exploration of the Shroud of Turin. In their discussion, Dan and Dr. Habermas examine the complex history and preservation of the Shroud, digging into why it has captivated both scholars and skeptics for decades. Together, they’ll tackle questions such as:* What are the most crucial questions for assessing the Shroud’s authenticity?* Could the burial cloth of Jesus truly have survived for nearly 2,000 years?* What evidence supports or refutes the theory that the Shroud was created in the Middle Ages? Could it depict someone other than Jesus?* How do non-biblical sources, archaeology, and medical research contribute to our understanding of crucifixion practices?* What kind of event could have imprinted the image of a 6 ft., 180 lb. man on this ancient cloth? As Dr. Habermas unpacks over 40 years of Shroud research, discover why this remarkable artifact continues to be a point of discussion in Christian apologetics and Church history.Resources mentioned during the episode:Gary's website: https://garyhabermas.com/ (https://garyhabermas.com/)On the Resurrection, Volume 1 (Evidences) : https://a.co/d/1iufB8j (https://a.co/d/1iufB8j)On the Resurrection, Volume 2 (Refutations): https://a.co/d/8O4Yc78 (https://a.co/d/8O4Yc78)
