ANOTHER INTERVIEW:
How a mysterious man fooled a Harvard scholar into believing the 'Gospel of Jesus' Wife' was real (Daniel Burke, CNN). An interview with Ariel Sabar about his new book,
Veritas. It includes responses by Walter Fritz, the owner of the
Gospel of Jesus' Wife fragment and a response from Harvard University. CNN reports that they contacted Professor King for comment but did not receive a reply.
I find preposterous the suggestion that Professor King may have know from the start that the fragment was fake. No specialist would risk their reputation knowingly backing a forgery that was likely to be unmasked sooner or later.
