Pete Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Anyone read the new "The Lost Gospel" researched by Simcha Jacobovici and Barrie Wilson.It is said to report that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had two children. The book is a rewrite by an unknown monk over 1,500 years ago and is thought to date from the first century. Just got a copy. Barrie Wilson a professor at Toronto University adds some credibility to the find as being legit. I am told it is a NY best seller but I have just heard about it. Anyone know more.

Seeker Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 From what I've seen it's a re-interpretation of "Joseph and Aseneth". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dave Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Isn't Jacobovici the same guy who "found" the nails from the crucifixion and the tomb of Jesus family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Barrie Wilson is a credible person however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 From what I've seen it's a re-interpretation of "Joseph and Aseneth".or is Jesus and Mary being told in the face of the harsh censorship of Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I couldn't comment on that. My point was that it is not a new text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I couldn't comment on that. My point was that it is not a new text.That is true. I think after Barrie has looked at the oldest version of it at the British Museum and studied it for six year. As I said he is a professor at Toronto University and not given to make judgements on a whim. In fact he can be intense with his study as anyone will find if they read his works. One such book I read of his was how Jesus became Christian. He leaves very few stones unturned in his presentation (imo). However each to their own.
