Episode notes
Archaeology Confirms Christianity's Historical Core

- Jeremiah says he can list 65 archaeological facts about Jesus within 100 years of his life before citing the New Testament.
Personal Journey From Skeptic To Shroud Advocate
- Jeremiah describes the Shroud of Turin as the most well-studied archaeological artifact, examined by over 102 disciplines and dating to about 2,000 years old.
- He points to an unexplained image of a crucified man on the shroud that matches Gospel crucifixion details.
Use The CIA Method To Read Scripture
- Read the Bible using the CIA method: Context, Interpretation, Application, to avoid misreading passages.
