In Episode 9, we explore the mystery of the Shroud of Turin with Fr. Andrew, diving into its history, scientific debates, and profound theological significance. From early documented appearances to the controversial 1988 radiocarbon dating, we reflect on how the Shroud provokes both faith and science. Discover its deep connection to the Resurrection and the Eucharist in this thought-provoking conversation.
Fr. Andrew Dalton L.C. is a Catholic priest of the Legionaries of Christ and professor of theology at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome, where he teaches the Synoptic Gospels and Biblical Greek and Hebrew. For the Postgraduate Certificate in Shroud Studies, he lectures on the Biblical Theology of the Passion of Christ. Fr. Dalton has become well-known as an international speaker on the Shroud. His approach bridges the gap between scientific observation and theological interpretation.
