Talpiot Tombs, the “Jesus Discovery” and the “Jonah Ossuary” in the News

Hereโ€™s the latest on the Talpiot tombs and the ossuary which should presumably cease being referred to as the โ€œJonah ossuaryโ€:

Bob Cargill has made another video about the image on the โ€œJonah ossuaryโ€:

The ASOR blog draws attention to a publication discussing that same ossuary, and the image on it, way back in 1981. See too the post about the article on Michael Heiserโ€™s blog.

Bob Cargill also offers further analysis not only of the image on the ossuary, but also the โ€œdigitally enhancedโ€ version that featured in the documentary.

ABC News has a video clip featuring James Tabor and Mark Goodacre. See also Mark Goodacreโ€™s own blog post about the news piece.

Jim West and James Tabor have not been getting along, as a result of something Jim wrote about James Charlesworth. Jim West has never offended anyone else before, and so this is truly shocking.

Several scholars also get mentioned in a piece in The Christian Post.

In related news, PZ Myers has pharyngulated an online poll about whether there was a historical Jesus. Duane Smith explains the problems with the pollโ€™s wording as well as the historical issues.
