Sensationalist documentaries

"The Lost Tomb of Jesus" is ticking off a lot of people with its marketing. In their documentary, they say they've found an ossuary that might belong to Jesus's family.

I appreciate this article, which by reading can save a lot of time. Jesus was the Greek name for the Hebrew name Joshua. Just as there are plenty of Joshuas around today, there were even more back then.

As it points out, the filmmakers just want to "stir up a hornet's nest." I think it's pretty irresponsible.
