ASOR is pleased to announce that it has made an issue of Near Eastern Archaeology (NEA 69:3/4 [2006]) available for free on JSTOR for the next month. This issue of NEA contains articles by leading scholars that examine the hypothesis that a Talpiot Tomb belonged to Jesus’ family. The issue contains articles by Eric M. Meyers, Shimon Gibson, Sandra Scham, Christopher Rollston, and Stephen J. Pfann. The issue also contains an extensive response by James D. Tabor.Follow the link for a TOC and links.
For other recent blog posts, see James McGrath's latest: Round-Up on the Talpiot Patio Tomb (to fish or not to fish – that is the question). Also, Christopher Rollston: James Tabor’s Iota: A Palaeographic Problem for his Inscriptional Reading, in response to a reading by Tabor (followed by Bauckham, although his overall interpretation is very different from Tabor's).
