Here\u2019s a round-up of posts<\/a> on the Talpiot tombs<\/a> that have appeared<\/a> since my last round-up:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ The Jesus Discovery web site now seems to be working, and has press releases, photos, and other interesting materials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Mark Goodacre asks \u201cWhen is a fish not a fish?\u201d and answers \u201cWhen it has handles\u201d<\/a> See too the close-ups of the images provided by Michael Heiser<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mark Goodacre also blogged about Simcha Jacobovici\u2019s fascination with The DaVinci Code<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bob Cargill<\/a> and Tom Verenna<\/a> suggest that<\/a> some photos show signs of doctoring or manipulation<\/a> that may be influencing the perception of what they depict<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Christopher Rollston blogged about an alleged iota<\/a>. Jim West got to hear him and others speak about this topic in person<\/a>.<\/p>\n

April DeConick expresses the need for patience as we slowly receive, examine, and discuss new and relevant information<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ben Witherington offered his fourth post on the \u201cPatio Tomb of Joseph.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Richard Bauckham discusses the four-line ossuary inscription on the ASOR blog<\/a> (also noted by Mike Heiser)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brian LePort linked<\/a> to a podcast in which Craig A. Evans talks about the \u201cJesus discovery.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Near Eastern Archaeology has made freely available for a limited time some articles from a few years ago when a Talpiot tomb first garnered this sort of attention<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remnants of Giants continues to parody the \u201cJonah\u201d image<\/a>; they\u2019re entertaining, but I suspect that the image on the ossuary isn\u2019t in fact deodorant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
