The James Ossuary: The Earliest Evidence for Jesus?

Is the James Ossuary one of the earliest archaeological references to Jesus of Nazareth? In this video from The Worldview Bulletin, we explore the fascinating story of an ancient Jewish burial box bearing the inscription, “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.” If authentic, this discovery may provide a remarkable connection to Jesus, his family, and the earliest days of Christianity. This article also considers the transformation of James himself—from skeptic to leader of the Jerusalem church and eventually martyr—and what his life tells us about the historical roots of the Christian faith. This video is based on an article originally published at The Worldview Bulletin and excerpted from Jeremiah J. Johnston’s book, The Jesus Discoveries: 10 Historic Finds That Bring Us Face-to-Face with Jesus, published by Bethany House.
