Israel Knohl’s Statement

Filed under: Lost Tomb of Jesus — uhl staff @ 1:13 am

This is Israel Knohl’s statement:

“Here is what I have to say:
The dramatic recent discovery of the “Gabriel Revelation” tells us that the Christian beliefe in the rising of Jesus on the third day is not dependent on the situation of his body. I am not covinced that the Talpiot tomb is that of the family of Jesus. This is a possibility that should be explored with more evidence.

Please publish all my words including the first sentence.

With best wishes

Israel Knohl”
