In case you haven't heard, the Discovery Channel will be airing a new documentary, "The Lost Tomb of Jesus," in early March. In Da Vinci Code fashion, the executive producer, Titanic's James Cameron, and director, Simcha Jacobovici, claim their findings will rattle the foundation of Christianity and probably bringing down the whole house, thus changing history forever. Why? Because the supposed tomb of Jesus has been found, along with the ossuary that contains the bones of Jesus, his mother, brothers, wife, and his child Jude! Who knew?!
Needless to say, this shouldn't rock your faith any more than Dan Brown's fiction. At least Brown was forthright about his work being fictitious. Cameron and Jacobovici's is much worse; it's a farce.
Here are some very helpful links with nods to other great resources you should check out so you can understand what's going on. You never know the conversations you might have. Afterall, Jesus is pretty popular these day!
