OSSUARIES AND THE BURIALS OF JESUS AND JAMES<\/strong>
Thursday, February 17, 2011<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jodi Magness<\/strong>, Ph.D.

In November 2002, the existence of a sensational archaeological artifact was announced to the world: a small stone box called an ossuary inscribed with the name of James, the brother of Jesus. And in spring 2007, yet another sensational claim made headlines around the world: the supposed identification of Jesus\u2019 family tomb in Jerusalem\u2019s Talpiyot neighborhood. In this slide-illustrated lecture, I discuss these finds within the context of ancient Jewish tombs and burial customs in Jerusalem in the time of Jesus (late Second Temple Period). I conclude that the so-called Talpiyot tomb could not have belonged to Jesus\u2019 family, and the so-called James ossuary never contained the remains of Jesus\u2019 brother James the Just.<\/p>\n

Time 8:00 p.m.<\/strong>
Location: University Library Lilly Auditorium (UL 0310)<\/strong>
Street: 755 West Michigan Street<\/strong>
IUPUI Campus, Indianapolis, IN <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
