Joe Nickell - The Relics of the Christ - a podcast by Center for Inquiry

The world’s leading paranormal investigator, Joe Nickell is a regular
contributor to Skeptical Inquiry science magazine. He is the author
or editor of more than twenty books, including Inquest on the Shroud of Turin (1983, 1998) and most recently, The Relics of the Christ (2007).

In this discussion with D.J. Grothe, Nickell talks about his new book,
Relics of the Christ, and various Holy Artifacts he has scientifically
investigated over the years. He details current skeptical thinking on
the Shroud of Turin, purported to be Jesus of Nazareth's original
burial cloth, certain relics cults throughout history, and the
important role that relics have played in the history of the Catholic
Church. He also touches on his research on the Holy Grail,
investigations of the famed James Ossuary, the burial container claimed
to belong to James the brother of Jesus, and fragments of the Cross of
Jesus.
