    Judge Mulls Verdict in "James Ossuary" Forgery Trial
    October 5, 2010

    The forgery trial of Oded Golan has finally concluded. Golan is accused of faking the inscription on the so-called
    "James Ossuary" as well as other important objects. Now that the trial is over the judge will consider a verdict.
    This could take months. It would appear that the most likely outcome is that Golan will be acquitted in the "James
    Ossuary" matter and perhaps on all counts. See the following for more details: http://www.aolnews.

    Publication of "Did the set of names from the Talpiot tomb arise by chance?" (click here)
    March 29, 2010

    Jerry Lutgen, the editor of the talpiottomb.com has just released an article which makes it clear that the names
    found in the Talpiot tomb did not arise by chance.  There could be many reasons for this non-chance
    occurrence, only one of which is that the Talpiot tomb is the family tomb of Jesus.  This result is important
    because many of those opposed to the Talpiot tomb as the family tomb of Jesus often state that the names found
    in the tomb must have arisen out of chance given that individually some of these names are common.

    October, 2009

    Jerry Lutgen, the editor of talpiottomb.com has just published an article that discusses the statistical aspects of
    the Talpiot tomb.  Several statisticians have attempted to estimate the probability that the Talpiot tomb is the
    family tomb of Jesus.  These estimates vary dramatically, often reaching completely different conclusions.  Lutgen
    shows that these differences are not due to differences in statistical approach.  Rather they are due to
    differences in a long string of non-statistical factual assumptions.  He also points out that a number of facts, that
    are important to many observers, are left out of there analysis.


    James Ossuary in the news again
    September, 2009

    The so-called James Ossuary is at the center of the Talpiot tomb question.  This is because if the James Ossuary
    can be placed in the Talpiot tomb and it is shown not to be a forgery or at least not a total forgery, then it is very
    strong evidence that the Talpiot Tomb is the family tomb of Jesus.  The jesusdynasty.com website provides a
    good update of recent events.  See: http://www.jesusdynasty.com/blog/2009/09/10/james-ossuary-in-the-news-
