The Empty Tomb

Roy Jenkins talks to a scientist, an artist and two Christian tour guides to the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem about this central mystery of the Christian faith.

In some regards it's the original locked-room mystery: suddenly, two women discover that a dead body has gone from the sealed tomb. But gone where? And how? Roy Jenkins discusses Jesus' resurrection with a scientist, an artist, and former rector his wife who volunteer to guide visitors around the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. How do Christians make sense of the absence of Christ's body in the tomb?

Retired vicar Stuart Bell and his wife Pru are enthusiastic tour guides to the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem, which some believe closely resembles the tomb described in the Gospels; Professor David Wilkinson is an astrophysicist and theologian at the University of Durham; artist Richard Bavin paints and exhibits in Herefordshire and in Wales, and his painting of The Empty Tomb is held by the Methodist Modern Art Collection.
