$\"\"$ Steve Caruso offered a \u201cpost mortem\u201d on the \u201clive blogging\u201d about the documentary which aired last night, and the incongruity of a post mortem about live blogging seemed oddly appropriate<\/a>. He also offered an analogy to the \u201cthere\u2019s no consensus about what kind of vase it is, therefore it is a fish\u201d argument<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bob Cargill<\/a>, Mark Goodacre<\/a> and Tom Verenna live blogged the documentary.<\/a><\/p>\n

Christopher Rollston offers a review of the book, covering claims made in the recent book and documentary, earlier ones about Talpiot Tomb A, and the claim that the James ossuary\u2019s patina shows it comes from the Talpiot tomb<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bob Cargill also points out which lines are ignored by those attempting to see the name \u201cJonah\u201d on the ossuary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Richard Bauckham offered a guest post on the alleged connection between Joseph of Arimathea and the Talpiot tomb(s)<\/a>. There is also a pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

James Tabor responded to Eric Meyers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jim West blogged about the documentary\u2019s ratings, and he too made reference to death \u2013 and being undead<\/a>. That wasn\u2019t his only post on the topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Huffington Post has a piece on the documentary<\/a>, with video<\/a>, and Digital Journal has one specifically on the technology used to get images from within the tomb<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jim Davila also blogged about the subject<\/a> as did Mike Heiser<\/a> and Chuck Grantham<\/a>, among others<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, there is an amusing pseudo-press release by someone who spammed a lot of blogs that discussed the Talpiot tomb in recent weeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
