Does the Shroud of Turin Prove the Resurrection? | Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ

Father Robert Spitzer, SJ, joined Father Gregory Pine, OP, to discuss the Shroud of Turin and its relationship to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The conversation, hosted by the Godsplaining podcast, examined the scientific and historical aspects of the cloth believed by many to be the burial shroud of Jesus.

During the discussion, Father Spitzer, who serves as president of the Magis Center for Reason and Faith, addressed the 1988 carbon dating results and the origins of the cloth's three-dimensional image. He also examined bloodstains on the Shroud that appear to correspond to the Gospel accounts of the crucifixion. The conversation explored whether the physical evidence of the Shroud provides a natural explanation or points toward the Resurrection.
