Could lead codices prove ‘the major discovery of Christian history’?
By Chris Lehmann
British archaeologists are seeking to authenticate what could be a landmark discovery in the documentation of early Christianity: a trove of 70 lead codices that appear to date from the 1st century, which may include key clues to the last days of Jesus’ life. As UK Daily Mail reporter Fiona Macrae writes, some researchers are suggesting this could be the most significant find in Christian archeology since the Dead Sea scrolls in 1947.
The codices turned up five years ago in a remote cave in eastern Jordan—a region where early Christian believers may have fled after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. The codices are made up of wirebound individual pages, each roughly the size of a credit card. They contain a number of images and textual allusions to the Messiah, as well as some possible references to the crucifixion and resurrection. Some of the codices were sealed, prompting yet more breathless speculation that they could include the sealed book, shown only to the Messiah, mentioned in the Book of Revelation. One of the few sentences translated thus far from the texts, according to the BBC, reads, “I shall walk uprightly”–a phrase that also appears in Revelation. “While it could be simply a sentiment common in Judaism,” BBC writer Robert Pigott notes, “it could here be designed to refer to the resurrection.”
But the field of biblical archaeology is also prey to plenty of hoaxes and enterprising fraudsters, so investigators are proceeding with due empirical caution. Initial metallurgical research indicates that the codices are about 2,000 years old–based on the manner of corrosion they have undergone, which, as Macrae writes, “experts believe would be impossible to achieve artificially.”
Beyond the initial dating tests, however, little is confirmed about the codices or what they contain. And the saga of their discovery has already touched off a battle over ownership rights between Israel and Jordan. As the BBC’s Pigott recounts, the cache surfaced when a Jordanian Bedouin saw a menorah—the Jewish religious candleabra—exposed in the wake of a flash flood. But the codices somehow passed into the ownership of an Israeli Bedouin named Hassam Saeda, who claims that they have been in his family’s possession for the past 100 years. The Jordanian government has pledged to “exert all efforts at every level” to get the potentially priceless relics returned, Pigott reports.
Meanwhile, biblical scholars who have examined the codices point to significant textual evidence suggesting their early Christian origin. Philip Davies, emeritus professor of Old Testament Studies at Sheffield University, told Pigott he was “dumbstruck” at the sight of plates representing a picture map of ancient Jerusalem. “There is a cross in the foreground, and behind it is what has to be the tomb [of Jesus], a small building with an opening, and behind that the walls of the city,” Davies explained. “There are walls depicted on other pages of these books, too, and they almost certainly refer to Jerusalem.”
David Elkington, an ancient religion scholar who heads the British research team investigating the find, has likewise pronounced this nothing less than “the major discovery of Christian history.” Elkington told the Daily Mail that “it is a breathtaking thought that we have held these objects that might have been held by the early saints of the Church.”
Still, other students of early Christian history are urging caution, citing precedents such as the debunked discovery of an ossuary said to contain Jesus’ bones. New Testament scholar Larry Hurtado observes that since these codices are miniature, they were likely intended for private, rather than liturgical, use. This would likely place their date of origin closer to the 3rd century CE. But only further research and full translation of the codices can fully confirm the nature of the find. The larger lesson here is likely that of Eccliastes 3:1—be patient, since “to everything there is a season.”
i’m not 18 yet. but when I turn 18, i plan on dating/courting a boy i’ve liked (and he’s liked me) for about 2 years. He’s a very nice, Christian, put together young man, and both of my parents like him as a person and for who he is. It’s more my mom than my dad. But she likes him, but she doesn’t like me with him for the very reason that his parents are divorced and live in another state. he lives with his grandparents, younger brother (2 years younger), and 2 aunts down here in FL. his grandma LOVES me and even talks about “when you 2 get together” and stuff. we are both waiting until after high school to do anything besides be just pals and buddies who play football outside after church. not because we have to but because we want to (we don’t think teens should have bf and gf. they are BIG distractions).
but i don’t get why my parents have this thing about kids who come from divorced homes.
do you have anything against them?
My girlfriend is Catholic, and I’m Baptist. I’m a Jesus freak (though, yes I’m still a sinner, duh), but she isn’t very devoted to Catholocism. I don’t think she’s getting anything out of it. She’s been to several meetings of our youth group at my church, but she says that those are boring, too. I love her dearly, and want the best for her, especially seeing that although I can’t love her forever, after death, then He still can. Anyone who has any advice that WILL ACTUALLY HELP (notice the emphasis) feel free to give it. Atheists, and people who tell me to dump her (or both), don’t bother answering. Thank you, and God bless.
Hello, I just received my free yearly copy of my credit report and noticed two items they have an estimated date to be removed next month. So, what does this mean exactly, and how does it work? Will this mean, the next time I pull up my credit report from the (same credit reprt agency) say next month..will this remain on there? Or, will it indeed be removed as says.
Thanks,

The rooms still exist but they are not listed in the directory any longer. As such nobody but a few hardcore regulars visit them. Anyone know if this is just a glitch on Yahoo’s part or are they doing away with them? They were nice because they were a place for general religion debate where as the other rooms like Christian Chat, Islam Chat, Paganism chat, etc. were for specific religions and not necessarily for theology/philosophy debate at all.
