THE JESUS DISCOVERY controversy over the Talpiyot tombs continues to generate blog posts etc.:
ASOR Blog: The Talpiot Tombs and New Testament Historical Criticism (James McGrath).
NT Blog (Mark Goodacre): Was there a predisposition to find Jonah and the whale? One's own blog archive can be a treasure trove, as I know well.
Christopher Rollston: Joseph of Arimathea and Talpiyot Tomb B? An Absence of Reasonable Evidence for a Connection. Professor Rollston makes it all the way through this post without a single reference to Monty Python, which shows he is a better man than I.
Also, Peter Mucha at the Philadelphia Inquirer announces: ‘Jesus Tomb’ objects coming to Philadelphia. Oh, and the exhibition also has some Dead Sea Scrolls or something, whatever.
Sigh.
The local small press does rather better on this story: Franklin Institute to host ‘Dead Sea Scrolls’ this May (Tim Ronaldson, Rittenhoused).
