The Evidence Behind the Discovery No One Wanted to Find (Revised, Updated)
The narrative centers on a significant archaeological discovery in 1980, when a tomb believed to belong to the family of Jesus of Nazareth was uncovered in suburban Jerusalem. During construction, archaeologists found ten ossuaries, some inscribed with names such as Jesus, son of Joseph, and two Marys. While the team recognized the unusual nature of these names, they ultimately deemed it a coincidence. The ossuaries were cataloged, but the tomb was left for further construction, raising questions about its historical implications.
Waiting to be rediscovered in the British Library is an ancient manuscript of the early Church, copied by an anonymous monk. The manuscript is at least 1,450 years old, possibly dating to the first century. And now, The Lost Gospel provides the first ever translation from Syriac into English of this unique document that tells the inside story of Jesus’ social, family, and political life.The Lost Gospel takes the reader on an unparalleled historical adventure through a paradigm shifting manuscript. What the authors eventually discover is as astounding as it is surprising: the confirmation of Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene; the names of their two children; the towering presence of Mary Magdalene; a previously unknown plot on Jesus’ life (thirteen years prior to the crucifixion); an assassination attempt against Mary Magdalene and their children; Jesus’ connection to political figures at the highest level of the Roman Empire; and a religious movement that antedates that of Paul—the Church of Mary Magdalene.Part historical detective story, part modern adventure, The Lost Gospel reveals secrets that have been hiding in plain sight for millennia.
