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.
