The Jesus Discovery by James D. Tabor
The New Archaeological Find That Reveals the Birth of Christianity
A controversial investigation into Jerusalem tombs argues that inscriptions and images on first-century ossuaries—including a fish-and-Jonah motif—constitute the earliest archaeological evidence of the nascent movement’s resurrection faith and possibly the burial of Jesus’ family. It recounts the use of robotic cameras to probe a sealed chamber, details epigraphic and iconographic analyses, situates the finds within Second Temple Jewish burial customs, and addresses scholarly objections and the implications for understanding the origins of Christianity.
