I don’t have the time or interest in tracking this story, which should in itself be an indication of how likely I think it is that the claims of Simcha Jacobovici (and James Cameron, who produced of his new documentary on The Lost Tomb of Jesus) hold water. But some of you will be curious, so let me point you to a quick roundup of other peoples’ posts:
Scot McKnight has two pertinent questions.
Claude Mariottini sums up my sentiments precisely: “[I]f the documentary is like Jacobovici?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s documentary on the exodus event, then there is no reason to worry.”
Speaking of the previous documentary, Chris Heard (who ripped said documentary into itty bitty shreds) explains why he’s skeptical of this one, too.
James White offers a solid summary with lots of actual facts.
So does Ben Witherington (who couldn’t resist a Titanic reference).
And finally, Weekend Fisher notes where we are on the calendar.
When filmmakers are permitted to announce astounding archeological discoveries, we are clearly living in the post-DaVinci-Code era.
