102: The Political Perils of Biblical Archeology

In this podcast conversation, host John Pinna interviews journalist and documentarian Simcha Jacobovici about his investigations into biblical archaeology and how he uses an investigative journalism approach to explore issues related to faith and history. They discuss several of Jacobovici's projects researching archaeological evidence related to Jesus, including finding the ossuary of Caiaphas and the controversial "Jesus family tomb," as well as analyzing the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. Jacobovici explains how he follows the evidence to raise questions about religion and history that institutions may want to cover up. He continues investigating issues related to the historical Jesus, publishing new books and films, though notes he cannot force academics and faith leaders to recognize his theories. Overall, the discussion explores using journalism techniques to uncover new evidence regarding faith histories and how this research intersects with religious institutions and beliefs.
