More on the Jesus Tomb

Ben Witherington has a second great post on the Jesus tomb.

One note: Christians who, when confronted with this controversy or the Da Vinci Code, should remember that the purveyors of these controversies are presenting their side of the story only. It's easy to make a case for something when you only present one set of evidence, the set that supports your viewpoint. But, orthodox Christianity has evidence on its side too, lots of it. We ought to weigh the evidence on both sides and see which fits the facts the best.
There are plenty of books one could read, for example, The Historical Reliability of the Gospels by Craig Blomberg; and there are plenty of internet resources such as this article by W.L. Craig, The Historicity of the Empty Tomb, as well as various articles at Tekton Apologetics
