By LAURIE GOODSTEIN
A documentary by the Discovery Channel claims to
provide evidence that a crypt unearthed 27 years ago in Jerusalem contained the
bones of Jesus of Nazareth.
Moreover, it asserts that Jesus was married to
Mary Magdalene, that the couple had a son, named Judah, and that all three were
buried together.
The claims were met with skepticism by several
archaeologists and New Testament scholars, as well as outrage by some Christian
leaders. The contention that Jesus was married, had a child and left behind his
bones — suggesting he was not bodily resurrected — contradicts core Christian
doctrine."
