About this product

Product Information

The Jesus Family Tomb tells the story of what may very well be the greatest archaeological find of all time--the discovery of the family tomb of Jesus of Nazareth. Following the accidental bulldozing of a tomb during the building of a housing complex in suburban Jerusalem in 1980, archaeologists from the Israeli Antiquities Authority were immediately called to the scene. Inside, the archaeologists found ten ossuaries--limestone boxes that served as first-century coffins. Six had inscriptions, including Jesus, son of Joseph; two Marys; and Judah, son of Jesus. The team concluded that the unusual group of names was merely coincidence. After removing and cataloging the ossuaries, they left the tomb to the builders to finish what they had already started. Twenty-five years later, Simcha Jacobovici, an Emmy award-winning journalist, tracked down the ossuaries in the Israeli Antiquities Authority's warehouse and decided to investigate this remarkable collection of names. Simcha mapped and then located the original tomb, which, to his surprise, was still intact. Granted unequaled access, he soon found that the archaeologists were unaware of key evidence that made this the discovery of a lifetime. This is a story that is destined to grab international headlines and raise fundamental questions about the historical Jesus. Are the "Jesus" and "Mary" referred to in these inscriptions the Jesus and Mary Magdalene of the gospels? Readers are taken on a remarkable journey: from telling statistical analysis, to a time-bending trip across two millennia, and an investigation of the patinas and DNA of the tombs that makes an episode of CSI look mundane. The Jesus Family Tomb arrives at an extraordinary answer to an ancient mystery. A riveting combination of history, archaeo-logy, and theology, this book will change the way we think about God, religion, and everything we have learned about the life and death of Jesus.

"A slick and suspenseful narrative. . . . Jacobovici is a maverick, a self-made Indiana Jones." -- Newsweek "Absolutely fascinating . . . many would argue the biggest story or one of the biggest stories of our lifetime." -- Today Show "This discovery is potentially the last nail in the coffin of biblical literalism" -- John Dominic Crossan, author of God & Empire, Absolutely fascinating . . . many would argue the biggest story or one of the biggest stories of our lifetime.

Great Story!
A great report on the first archeological discovery linked directly to Jesus of Nazareth. It is virtually earth shattering in its content. An ossuary (a bone box used in secondary burial) for Jesus, and one for each of his mother, for Mary Magdalene who was an apostle written our of the biblical content of our bible, for their son, for his brother James and for Matthew and located 25 years ago, by Israeli archeologists who chose to keep the information out of the public, in a cave tomb near Jerusalem where they have rested in solitude for 2000 years since the destruction of that city and its population before 70 C.E by the Romans responding to the Jewish revolt of that period.. The text lends a level of reality to the Jesus story and provides an insight into funeral rites not easily understood by reading our New Testament. A great read!Read full review

Worth a read compelling evidence.
There is a lot of scientific research to verify the claim, but for religion in my life it is rather difficult to accept. It will be there in the back of my mind but I prefer the traditional beliefs. Great read otherwise.

The Jesus Family Tomb
I purchased this book after seeing the documentary on television. The book was more informative than the documentary and answered some of my questions that the documentary did not. You need an open mind to read and examine the information compiled in these pages. I would recomend this book as a good read if you can question what you have been taught as fact.
