What if faith had a fingerprint? In this compelling interview, apologist and theologian Tom Dallis explores how ancient Jewish burial customs align with the Gospel account of Jesus’ death and burial—adding weight to the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin.
In the Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, Dallis walks through the burial rites of 1st-century Jews, including the use of fine linens and burial spices typically reserved for royalty. As a member of the Sanhedrin, Nicodemus would’ve followed these rituals meticulously, offering up a kingly burial to Jesus Christ.
Dallis also tackles the scientific side: employing statistical models such as odds calculation and Bayesian probability to assess the likelihood of the Shroud being a forgery. With over 30 dimensions of evidence considered—ranging from blood chemistry to textile analysis—his conclusion is staggering: the probability that the Shroud is anything but authentic is virtually zero.
This discussion bridges the gap between faith and science and asks the question—how much evidence do we need?
Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just curious, this episode offers something profound: a new lens through which to view the Resurrection.
