On the "decorative symbols" argument

Thanks for the heads-up, Craig. Sounds like an interesting read and I'll be sure to pick it up.

One question, though, on Craig Evans' argument about the decorative symbols at the ossuary being non-Christian but rather "standard Jewish symbols." Why would one expect Christian symbols to have been used at that moment in history, as opposed to "standard Jewish symbols"? I'd be interested in your take on the issue.

Grace and Peace,
