In October 2002, the Biblical Archaeology1 Society announced a discovery which could provide historical evidence for the existence of Jesus. An inscription2 had been found on an ancient bone box (ossuary) that reads "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus." If authentic3, this container provides the only new Testament-era mention of the central figure of Christianity and is the first-ever archaeological discovery to corroborate5 biblical references to Jesus. This June, the Discovery Channel followed the story of the unearthing6 in Israel of this ancient ossuary, providing viewers with new information about the discovery of this historic relic7 and raising questions about Jesus' family life.
