Episode 27: Let the Dead Bury Their Dead

Clayton Van Huss talks about ancient burial practices and how an understanding of 1st Century Jewish customs illuminates the text of the Gospels. What did Jesus mean when He proclaimed, “Let the dead bury the dead,” or what did it mean when someone was “gathered to his fathers”? With an understanding of the material culture of tombs, repositories, and ossuaries, these biblical texts about burial can be seen with new light. Clayton Van Huss, a biblical archaeologist and Christian apologist, hosts the program Biblically Grounded, where he interviews different guests in each episode. Together, they explore the latest archaeological discoveries from around the world that affirm and illuminate God's Word. Despite what secular sources and mainstream media may say about the Bible, these discoveries reveal the truth and reliability of Scripture. Clayton, along with his renowned guests, offers valuable insight and expert analysis, making this program both informative and faith-affirming.
