Jerusalem's Burial Box Controversy
This article discusses the controversy in the world of biblical archaeology over the finding of an empty limestone burial box with the Aramaic inscription, "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus." While noted French paleographer André Lemaire confirmed the box's authenticity, some issues raised are on the provenance of the box, the relative commonality of the three names in the era, and the lack of peer-review.
