Dan McClellan links to an article which cites Steve Caruso’s treatment of the “alphabet soup” of characters on the lead plates.

Dan also posted the next installment in his review of Jimmy Dunn’s Did the First Christians Worship Jesus?: The New Testament Evidence.

Jim West shared a piece by Joe Zias about the lead plates and the motives behind those and other similar forgeries.
