From the desert

First there was the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls, then the talk about the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin.  Now, joining the mystery around the ostuary thought to have held bones from the time of Jesus, comes a report of lead codices which could date back to the first century A.D.  If this is true, the contents of these scrolls could hold some interesting explanations about life in the very early Church.


Much work remains to be done before these newest discoveries can be authenticated.  In the meanwhile, the very thought that some artifacts more than two thousand years old could have been unearthed makes some stand in awe and interest.
