Stone tablet rocks biblical circles →
A tablet consisting of 87 lines of Hebrew that scholars believe dates a number of decades just before the claimed birth of Christ is causing a bit of a stir in biblical circles.
The tablet appears to speak of a messiah who will rise from the dead after three days. If this is the meaning of the text that it will establish that the death and resurrection of a messiah figure was an established part of Jewish lore and not unique to Jesus.
The death and resurrection of a messiah figure was an established part of pagan lore as well. This tablet is rather interesting, but I doubt it will shake the faith of many Christians.
