Jésus et son épouse: des professeurs de Harvard dupés?

Il y a deux ans je soulignais l'histoire de ce papyrus dans mon carnet web. Alors que des chercheurs de Harvard pointent dans la direction d'un document authentique, plusieurs chercheurs de diverses universités n'y croient tout simplement pas. Jésus avait-il une épouse? Il semble qu'on se posera encore la question...

 "The document struck others as strange because its timing seemed too convenient. Whenever an apparently ancient relic emerges that seems to address a modern debate exactly — such as women’s role in the church and whether priests should marry — it’s usually “too good to be true.”

 But then, after King’s fragment and its implications had simmered for two years, she came out with her study. It said the fragment was in fact an ancient document dating between the sixth and ninth centuries A.D., and that its contents had been composed as early as the second to fourth centuries. “None of the testing has produced any evidence that the fragment is a modern fabrication or forgery,” the press release said.

 The media was in love. For several days afterward, headlines touted the findings. Researcher Askeland, however, wasn’t convinced. “The writing was not comparable to any ancient manuscript which I had seen,” said the professor, who also works for Indiana Wesleyan University.
