Mystery of the Jesus Family

Only 29 years ago, in 1980, officials of the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA) discovered the limestone caskets, or ossuaries, of Jesus, his mother Mary, his lover Mary Magdalene and son Judah, two of his brothers James and Yoseh, and a few other relatives. The tomb was accidentally exposed by a construction crew in Talpiot, Jerusalem. The officials emptied all the bones from the ossuaries into a plastic bag which was buried somewhere in a hole in the ground. Ten bone boxes from that tomb were put in the IAA warehouse and the tomb was quickly sealed with a concrete slab. Talpiot became the “Place of the Holy Holes in Jerusalem.” One of the bone boxes disappeared from the IAA warehouse. Which one and what does it mean? Why did Jews and Christians rush to repudiate any connection of that Jesus family with Jesus of Nazareth? Why is the tomb still sealed? MYSTERY OF THE JESUS FAMILY sheds light on these grave questions.

1Hope for Peace in Discovery of a Human Jesus  Mar 29, 2010
By Stephen W. Ricks

For anyone seeking information on the important subject of the Jesus family tomb, Ron Mazur's book is an excellent place to start. This small book focuses on the human drama surrounding the 1980 discovery and 2005 rediscovery of an obscure tomb between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, which may be the factual family tomb of the historical Jesus of the Bible.

The book functions like a program one might buy before entering the arena of the really big game. It gives an overview of the various book and DVD sources and contributes valuable information of its own, history and background, to enable a reader to quickly gain an understanding of the all-important relationships between the controversial sources and their authors.

Beyond its words, the book communicates a sense of the excitement a revelation of such near human incomprehensibility should generate. Under the influence of this excitement Mr. Mazur begins by sharing his vision for construction of a proper memorial to mark in time and place this milestone in human history.

This book does not waste words but thrusts its readers into the depths of the controversy surrounding the discovery. The book ends with the author's thoughts on the power of the discovery to change the shape of modern religion. If the truth is here, long buried in this obscure tomb, as the formerly skeptical author clearly believes it is, it just may be the missing piece of truth that, taken seriously, could serve to unify Jewish and Christian truth and lead us into a new understanding and peace. Truth has that power, every part being congruent with every other part.
