The Family Tomb of Jesus

On today's “Calling For Truth” Radio Program we will discuss the recent news reports and promotional campaign for what is being called; “The Jesus Family Tomb”.

Here is portion of the press release from Discovery Channel:

Feb. 25, 2007 — New scientific evidence, including DNA analysis conducted at one of the world's foremost molecular genetics laboratories, as well as studies by leading scholars, suggests a 2,000-year-old Jerusalem tomb could have once held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth and his family.

The findings also suggest that Jesus and Mary Magdalene might have produced a son named Judah.

The DNA findings, alongside statistical conclusions made about the artifacts — originally excavated in 1980 — open a potentially significant chapter in Biblical archaeological history.

A documentary presenting the evidence, 'The Lost Tomb of Jesus,' will premiere on the Discovery Channel on March 4 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The documentary comes from executive producer James Cameron and director Simcha Jacobovici.

Our special guest on the program today will be Dr. James White – Noted Christian Author and Apologist. Dr. White has been writing about this news item since it was first released.

Additionally, just this week Dr. White has committed to writing a book on this subject entitled “FROM TORONTO TO EMMAUS: THE EMPTY TOMB AND THE JOURNEY FROM SKEPTICISM TO FAITH” to be published by Easter by Solid Ground Christian Books.
