year2027 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/20/opinion/mr-and-mrs-jesus-christ.html?_r=2 Mr. and Mrs. Jesus Christ? By JAMES MARTIN AT an academic conference in Rome on Tuesday, Karen L. King, a church historian at Harvard Divinity School, presented a finding that, according to some reports, threatened to overturn what we know about Jesus, as well as the tradition of priestly celibacy. She identified a small fragment of fourth-century papyrus that includes the words, Jesus said to them, My wife... Another clause appears to say, she will be able to be my disciple. Some experts have concluded that the manuscript, written in Coptic, is authentic. But does this mean that Jesus was married? Probably not. And will this fascinating new discovery make this Jesuit priest want to rush out and get married? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
