Summary

Was this tomb kept secret for 28 years, indicating a "cover-up"? Are scholars correct in linking the Mariame inscription in the tomb to Mary Magdalene? Can the tenth ossuary missing be that of "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus"? Can we really trust the Bible's account that Jesus rose from the dead? Can the resurrection be understood spiritually instead of physically? Does science disprove the resurrection?
