It's Officially Easter Season Again
February 26, 2007 Posted by Amy Hall
In a new documentary titled “The Lost Tomb of Jesus” set to air on Sunday, James Cameron attempts to prove that archeologists have discovered not only Jesus' bones, but the bones of his mother, wife, child, and brother. If true, it would be the end of Christianity. As Paul said, “If Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins…[and] we are of all men most to be pitied.”
But (surprise, surprise) it turns out there are few problems with the evidence. I suspect we'll get a full refutation as time goes on, but for now, read about the situation in this article, see Ben Witherington's post for a quick response here, and see the STR blog for a note from Christian historian Paul Maier.
Regardless of how good the responses are, though, I'm sure people will quickly latch on to this story as a reason to reject Jesus' claims. This is good PR news for Cameron. With Jesus out of the way, this discovery should add some serious weight to his bid for King of the World.
