Charles J. Dietzen, MD, discusses, from a medical perspective, the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth and what some theologians and historians say really happened on that long-ago day atop Golgotha and the resurrection that followed.
Dr. Dietzen, an Indianapolis pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist and founder of Timmy Global Health, explains the Roman practice of execution, the physiological aspects of Jesus' death and a medical analysis of opposing theories on the resurrection.
He also discusses what medical and scientific analyses reveal about the Shroud of Turin, an ancient linen many believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus. This presentation included Roman-period artifacts and a life-sized copy of the Shroud of Turin.
