GJW: the latest

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS' WIFE is still generating blog posts and media attention:

April DeConick: What are the facts about the Gospel of Jesus' Wife?

April is asking some important questions, one or two of which I have also touched on here. There is a lot of interesting discussion happening on Facebook, especially from Mark Goodacre and Bob Kraft on the Philadelphia Seminar on Christian Origins page (which is a closed group). I hope some of it ends up in some public forum in due course.

Mark Goodacre: Laboratory tests can’t always catch modern forgeries - as Harvard Theological Review has (inadvertently) proved (guest post by Andrew Bernhard)

Mark Goodacre: Tentative chronology on Coptic "Jesus Wife" fragment (guest post by Stephen Goranson)

Charlotte Allen: The Deepening Mystery Of the 'Jesus' Wife' Papyrus (Weekly Standard)
