MARK GOODACRE: Skepticism about Jesus' Wife Papyrus in the Chronicle of Higher Education. The article in the CHE is behind a subscription paywall now, but Mark excerpts some of it. Bottom line: we're still waiting for the results of those tests on the Gospel of Jesus' Wife fragment and no one seems to know when they will come in. These are the tests that were supposed to take "several weeks, if not months" back in October of 2012. In December of that year, I wrote "I hope this does not deteriorate into an endless round of delays ..."
I'm still hoping.
