RELICS REVISED:
The Bones of Jesus’ Disciple Might Not Be His. The bones of two of Jesus’s close followers have turned out to have different origins than the faithful initially believed (Candida Moss, The Daily Beast). If the press release on the new tests is accurate, it looks like they aren't his. I haven't read the underlying article in
Heritage Science. Nor do I think I would be qualified to evaluate it if I did.
