Product Description

In 1980, workers at a Jerusalem construction site accidentally uncovered a cache of bone boxes from early Christian times. When reports about the crypt discovery leaked out 16 years later, the London Sunday Times headlined the story as ''The Tomb That Dare Not Speak Its Name.'' Now the full story will be told. In 2005, documentary filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici obtained permission to break through the apartment floor and reenter the tomb. Part archaeological detective story and part early Christian history, The Jesus Family Tomb is a narrative as riveting as any novel.

    so very palusible!

    ...possibly the greatest find ever ....and so very many know nothing about this ....even today. Yes it is provocative but it is also so very plausible regardless of how many have dismissed this outright. Why is it so hard to find Jesus and his family in a concrete and historically accurate context. If you believe he was ever human, you have to have wondered about the human footprint left by him and his family as well. I have purchased multiple copies of this book. Have passed them out to all willing to read ...and each person comes back thinking that yes, there could be some strain in connecting some of the threads but on the whole, fascinating, plausible and to me, a catholic, comforting indeed to find these people, right where they would likely be, after all these years.
