This Place Is for the Birds

New Testament tower?
By Boaz Zissu
030 Surely one of the most exciting moments in the life of a Biblical archaeologist is finding something that seems to illuminate the Biblical text. The recent discovery of the Siloam Pool where, according to John 9:1–7, Jesus cured a man who had...

Who or What Was Yahweh’s Asherah?

Startling new inscriptions from two different sites reopen the debate about the meaning of asherah
By André Lemaire
042 New inscriptions from two different sites have reopened the debate about the meaning of asherah, a term often used in the Bible. Is it—or she—a goddess? Is it a holy place? Or perhaps a sacred tree? Or a pole? Or possibly a grove of trees?...
Biblical Archaeology Review, November/December 1984

Yes, Virginia, There Is a Q

By Stephen J. Patterson
039 Eta Linnemann’s article on the Q hypothesisa takes Burton Mack and me to task not only for our scholarship, but also for what she takes to be our attack on traditional Christian beliefs. It’s a clever exercise in apologetics. However, this...

A Return to Origins (Again)

The early Christian martyrs were not reading the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas or the hypothetical sayings source that scholars refer to as “Q.” They were reading Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
By N. T. Wright
Bible Review, December 1999

Q

The lost gospel
By Stephen J. Patterson
034 The Lost Gospel. The very concept provokes a flood of questions. If it is lost, how do we know it ever existed? How do we know what was in it? Who lost it? And how was it lost? Perhaps most intriguing of all: Will it ever be found? A new book...

Burial Box of James the Brother of Jesus

Earliest archaeological evidence of Jesus found in Jerusalem
By André Lemaire
024 Amazing as it may sound, a limestone bone box (called an “ossuary”) has surfaced in Israel that may once have contained the bones of James, the brother of Jesus. We know this because an extraordinary inscription incised on one side of the...

The Great Debate

Jesus doesn’t really matter in Britain, but he clearly does in America. Why?
By N. T. Wright
Bible Review, August 1999

Israel Antiquities Authority’s Report Deeply Flawed

By André Lemaire
050 050 The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) recently formed a committee to decide whether the James ossuary inscription and the Yehoash (or Jehoash) inscription are authentic or forgeries. I...

Village Razed, Rebel Beheaded

How Hadrian Suppressed the Second Jewish Revolt at Horvat ‘Ethri
By Boaz Zissu
032 033 The second–third-century Roman historian Cassius Dio claimed that the Romans destroyed 985 Jewish villages while suppressing the so-called Bar-Kokhba Revolt, the Second Jewish Revolt. I...

The Gospel of Thomas

Does it contain authentic sayings of Jesus?
By Helmut KoesterStephen J. Patterson
028 Scholars have long theorized that collections of Jesus’ sayings circulated in the decades following his death and that therefore they would be among the earliest witnesses to his message. Modern critical scholars have even been able to...
Bible Review, April 1990

How Jesus Saw Himself

By N. T. Wright
022 The quest for the historical Jesus began as a protest against traditional Christian dogma. But when the supposedly “neutral” historians peered into the well, all they saw was a featureless Jesus. Even when these scholars decided that...
Bible Review, June 1996

Jesus Lives!

Looking Back on 20 Years of Jesus Scholarship
By Stephen J. Patterson
15 Thirty years ago, the historical Jesus was dead. By 1975, it was clear that scholars had very little to say about him. If students were assigned anything to read on the subject, it was usually Gunther Bornkamm’s Jesus of Nazareth from...

The Oxyrhynchus Papyri

The Remarkable Discovery You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
By Stephen J. Patterson
Discovered in the Egyptian desert over a century ago, the Oxyrhynchus Papyri have provided invaluable insights into the life and times of an early Roman Christian community of the Nile Valley. As our author explains, these priceless documents, which include everything from little-known gospels to revealing personal letters, intimately portray the beliefs and daily lives of ordinary Romans and Christians, making them one of the greatest archaeological finds ever.
Biblical Archaeology Review, March/April 2011

Judgement and Mercy

For there to be forgiveness or mercy, the truth, no matter how harsh, must be told. That is a lesson to be learned from the God of both testaments.
By N. T. Wright
Bible Review, April 2000

Little did Paul know how his colorful metaphors for Jesus’ second coming would be misunderstood two millennia later.
By N. T. Wright
Bible Review, August 2001

Paul and Qumran

When Paul shuns the “works of the law,” is he referring to the very works commended by the Dead Sea Scroll known as MMT?
By N. T. Wright
