Description

The Jesus Family Tomb is a serious and detailed scientific investigation that tells the story of what could very well be the greatest archaeological find of all time: the discovery and professionally documented excavation of a first-century tomb in Jerusalem, which ultimately appears to contain the bone boxes of Jesus of Nazareth, the virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene and Judah, son of Jesus.
    A fascinating combination of history, archaeology and theology based on authenticated artifacts, The Jesus Family Tomb will change the way we think about God, religion and everything we have learned about the life and death of Jesus.
