Well, he’s found a Jesus — his remains at least.
Titanic director James Cameron said at a press conference yesterday that he has found the remains of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene and a son named Judah.
Scholars and Christian’s everywhere are skeptical.
A documentary, “The Lost Tomb of Jesus”, will debut March 4 on the Discovery Channel.
According to NPR:
Cameron said he had never doubted the historical reality of Jesus:
“But the simple fact is there has never been a shred of physical, archeological evidence to support that fact until right now,” he said.
The tomb was discovered in 1980, in Jerusalem, several miles outside the Old City. There were scholarly articles about it in the late ’90s. Six of the ossuaries had inscriptions recorded and catalogued. The inscriptions included “Jesus, son of Joseph,” two different Marys, and “Judah, son of Jesus.”
I guess I’m missing the logic when Cameron said he never doubted the historical reality of Jesus and still thinks he can find his remains in a tomb. My view of history is that there would be no remains. Apparently Cameron is taking a more secular viewpoint of history.
But I guess that’s why they call it faith.
