Jesus Tomb

Randy Ingermanson wrote me today with his latest statistical study on the Jesus Tomb.

James Charlesworth gave the Jerusalem Post a long interview on January 24-25 about the Jesus Tomb. It can be found at this link:

Both James Tabor and April DeConick have responded to the Duke statement. Here is the link for primetimeJesus to see it.

Everyone is weighing in now. The following is a statement from multiple scholars about the tomb, decrying the way the media portrayed the event. Here it is in full.

Several others are now making statemnts about the Jerusalem Meeting. I will not post them all, but just give the links.

 Ben Witherington has also just made a post. I will post much of it.

Here is Witherington's take:

Before I head to church, here is a report James Tabor sent out about the conference. It confirms the responses I have been getting. What is important here is that these reports to me are coming from all sides of those who attended–so I trust they reflect a balance of the views. Anyway, here is his report in full, used with his permission.

He replied by pointing me to his blog entry from today. Here is his blog entry, which is posted also on his site at:
