The Gospel of Jesus’ Wife? When Sensationalism Masquerades as Scholarship

The news media tried to make much of the unvieling of an old manuscript recently, declaring it showed  that Jesus was married. There are multiple issues to talk about and Al Mohler adresses it well.

Dr. Mohler on Jesus’s wife: “This is sensationalism masquerading as scholarship. One British newspaper noted that the claims about a married Jesus seemed more worthy of fans of Dan Brown’s fictional work, The Da Vinci Code than ‘real-life Harvard professors.’ If the fragment is authenticated, the existence of this little document will be of interest to historians of the era, but it is insanity to make the claims now running through the media.” (See article)
