This wikizine is devoted to news, history, and other discoveries attributed to or discussing the verity of the historical person referred to in the Bible's New Testament as Jesus of Nazareth.

Periodically throughout history, people have reported findings pertaining to this figure, or uncovered artifacts related to or reputedly belonging to this person. This wikizine is the place for such reports and for discussing such reports.

Most recently, a set of bones discovered in 1980 buried together in Jerusalem have stirred interest since the names of the three family members match those of the Holy Family (Jesus, Mary and Joseph). Adding some DNA testing into the mix, authors Simcha Jacobovici and Charles Pellegrino provide evidence in their book The Jesus Tomb (May '07) to support the idea that the bones do indeed belong to Jesus and his family.

No matter what your faith or your beliefs about the existence of a real Jesus of Nazareth, if you are interested in these discoveries or the historical person, this wikizine is dedicated to collecting the latest on the subject.
