Excuse me, I'm so bored by the latest pre-Easter "revelation" that I can scarcely stifle my yawns.
Let's see... take some artifacts that have been around for a couple of decades, add a pinch of Gnostic "lost books", blend with breathless archaeologists and scholars eager to rattle Christians just before Holy Week, go to print and film and VOILA this year you have The Jesus Family Tombs. A movie and a book. How clever. How predictable. People, this is SO last year.
Check Ben Witherington's blog for several excellent posts carefully analyzing and exploding the claims of The Jesus Family Tombs if you need some help talking to folks upset by the advertising for the film and the book.
