The Jesus Tomb

There's lots of press right now around the small ossuary (bone box) that was found in the 1980's, which is now being said to hold the bones of Jesus. If you google "jesus tomb" you'll get over two million hits. The fuss is heating up because of a "documentary" (by Hollywood directors, not scientists, if that tells you anything) that will be aired to coincide with Easter celebrations. Some of the press is eagerly casting doubt on the resurrection of Jesus as a result of this dubious film, in much the same way as the DaVinci Code (which was a work of fiction) press did.

Here's a great quote from a master on the subject:

"There is more evidence that Jesus rose from the dead than there is that Julius Caesar ever lived or Alexander the Great died at the age of 33. It is strange that historians accept thousands of facts for which they can produce only shreds of evidence. But in the face of overwhelming evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ they cast a skeptical eye and hold intellectual doubts. The trouble with those people is that they do not want to believe." - Billy Graham, Peace with God
