Mary and the Ossuary

About the Book

An ancient “bone-box” is found in Israel. An American magazine publisher secures lucrative deals before igniting a media firestorm. Is this the “coffin” of James, brother of Jesus? A specialist in ancient writing systems cries forgery. Another researcher comes to a startling conclusion—there is a “phantom name” missing from this “equation.” Brushing away the cobwebs and contradictions, Mary and the Ossuary is the real story beneath the “Brother of Jesus” forgery. Hitting hard with the evidence, Ian Ransom bares all the hidden agendas in a detective story that journeys deep into the ancient past and shatters the “bone-box” forever.
