Dr. Stephen Pfann, Expert Used In Documentary, Disagrees With Conclusion
Sunday, April 8, 2007
Dr. Stephen Pfann, an expert in Ancient Semitic Languages, was hired by the filmmakers during the course of their investigation. In fact, they have a profile of him on their web site.
But contrary to what the press release suggests, scholars like Dr. Pfann and their work does not suggest the tomb once held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth.
From the press release:
...as well as studies by leading scholars, suggests a 2,000-year-old Jerusalem tomb could have once held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth and his family.
In fact, not only does Dr. Pfann disagree with the conclusion, he's publicly written against it. You can download his work on the Mariamne inscription here.
