The two dive deep into Jewish burial customs from the first century and how these practices offer compelling support for the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin.Red details how key figures like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea honored Jesus Christ with kingly burial rites 75 pounds of burial spices and fine linen, just as one would expect for a royal entombment.The conversation doesn’t stop at tradition. Red explores modern science and its contributions to the Shroud’s authenticity, utilizing odds calculus and Bayesian probability to determine the likelihood of forgery.By considering over 30 lines of evidence, including blood chemistry and textile analysis, Red concludes that the probability of forgery is astronomically low.Whether you're grounded in faith or in data, this conversation challenges your perspective on the most famous burial cloth in history.
