The Jesus Family Tomb Debate, or, The discovery Channel Thinks Your Stupid

If you have not yet heard, (you live in a cave) Discovery Channel is about to unleash its newest round in the "let's make stuff up about Christianity!" program schedule. As I am sure you already know many of the details I won't bore with them. Rather I will offer a couple of websites that can give you the nitty gritty better than I. First is a blog by Ben Witherington, a renowned and well respected Christian Scholar who has a very hot blog on the topic at the time I blogged this. In his blog post titled THE JESUS TOMB? ‘TITANIC’ TALPIOT TOMB THEORY SUNK FROM THE START I strongly recommend you go through the comments He argues against the tomb having anything to do with Jesus and in fact gets the attention of his colleague James Tabor (who appears in the posts as JDT.) James Tabor is the scholar who is spearheading the the research end the documentary. On this blog you will also get links to James Tabor's web site and blog which will fill you in on the other side quite well.

This next link is a "fact" sheet in a PDF format from the opposition. It offers a timeline for the finding and research on the tomb as well as a clearly delineated outline of the issues as the opposition sees them.
