About this episode
In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, Guy Powell speaks with theologian and Shroud scholar Andrew Dalton. Dalton explains how the Shroud became central to his academic and pastoral mission.
The conversation explores Jewish burial customs, Gospel testimony, and forensic details found on the Shroud. Dalton highlights John’s Gospel and the discovery of the collapsed linen cloths at the tomb.
These details challenge explanations of theft or fabrication. Listeners learn why the Resurrection is not merely a return to life. It represents transformation into glory.
The Shroud offers physical evidence consistent with this claim. The episode also explains why Christian faith is grounded in reason. Belief grows from evidence, testimony, and historical coherence. Themes explored here closely align with The Only Witness.
