The Lost Tomb of Jesus
Sorry it has been so long since I've written... I've been pretty busy with school (but I know, that's a pretty stupid excuse).
Anyway, right now I'm in a really great class. It's "New Testament One: The Gospels" with Dr. Craig A. Evans, a professor who visits Fuller only during the summer to teach a couple courses. This guy knows what he's talking about. He's definitely one of the key players in some of today's top theological discussions. It's been extremely interesting, in particular, to hear him talk about The Lost Tomb of Jesus, a documentary that the Discovery Channel will be airing in the next few months. This documentary is directed by James Cameron (of Titantic fame, I believe). Dr. Evans has told us that he thinks this film is a huge joke... basically a bunch of guys who are using their mass media connections to spread a lie. If you're at all interested in what Craig Evans thinks about this, he's speaking at Fuller Seminary this Wednesday evening.
Here are a few links for you to explore on the subject:

Dr. Evans' lecture last night was great. It was really interesting to hear him address these issues in a tight-knit presentation. I feel sorry for the guys at The Discovery Channel who are trying to figure out how to cover their mistakes and save face over this crazy documentary. Evans informed us that there will be a "counter-documentary" aired immediately after "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" airs in the future. Should be interesting...
