Critics Review

” As featured on Good Morning America, ABC News, Fox News, CBS This Morning, BBC World, Inside Edition, and more.” “I very much enjoyed reading the book and find the major thesis of Jesus’ marriage to Mary the Magdalene very convincing. I also liked the style - very modern and conversational I thought it well-structured and convincing I have always felt that the emphasis on celibacy and the identification of sex with sin and corruption is extremely annoying. It is very much part of the denigration of women and their place in the natural order of things.” – Madelyn B. Dick, Ph.D., Professor Emerita and Senior Scholar, History, York University, Toronto “Simcha Jacobovici and Barrie Wilson have produced a rather impressive collaborative work [that] advances the hypothesis that the text belongs to a form of Gnostic Christianity in which a married Jesus with children was a core tradition that might well trace back to the historical Jesus. The public will find it fascinating, clerics will denounce it, and some academics will likely dismiss it as sensational-but it is well worth a careful read.” – James D. Tabor, Professor of Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity, University of North Carolina at Charlotte “The Lost Gospel [is] a tour-de-force, carefully documented. An important contribution to the on-going dialogue about Christian origins.” – Margaret Starbird, author of ‘The Woman with the Alabaster Jar’ “This discovery is potentially the last nail in the coffin of biblical literalism.” – John Dominic Crossan, author of ‘God & Empire’ [Praise for ‘The Jesus Family Tomb’] “Absolutely fascinating. Many would argue the biggest story or one of the biggest stories of our lifetime.” – NBC’s TODAY [Praise for ‘The Jesus Family Tomb’] “A slick and suspenseful narrative. Jacobovici is a maverick, a self-made Indiana Jones. ” – Newsweek [Praise for ‘The Jesus Family Tomb’]
