The TRUTH About the Shroud of Turin w/ F...

Chris Stefanick | Real Life Catholic
About this episode

The Shroud of Turin is the subject of a lot of rumors, myths, and controversies — maybe you’ve heard some of them yourself and don’t know what to believe. That’s why this week we have Fr. Robert Spitzer, a Jesuit scientist and scholar on the Shroud of Turin. He offers some amazing facts about the Shroud, including what we can learn about the Crucifixion from what we see on the cloth. We also talk about the infamous carbon dating claims (they’ve been scientifically debunked).
