The Jesus Box

on BBC Radio 4 FM

In September 2002, archaeologists stumbled across an incredibly important and equally controversial biblical find. A limestone coffin with the words "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" was found in Jerusalem.
But is this an elaborate fake or the oldest archaeological link to Jesus? Biblical archaeologist Jerome Murphy-O'Connor picks through the evidence in a journey that takes him from the Wailing Wall to the bowels of the Sorbonne and asks whether we really are one step closer to proving that Jesus of Nazareth existed.
