History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

NOTE:
You may click any picture in this blog to view it on its' own screen.

Was Jesus Married?

A photo released by Harvard University professor of Christian Studies, Karen King, shows a fourth Century fragment of papyrus, believed to be the only existing ancient text containing dialogue in which Jesus refers to "my wife", whom he identifies as Mary. Written in a language of Ancient Egyptian Christians, the document once again raises the question of whether or not Jesus ever was married.
UPDATE (9/19) Some scholars are questioning the fragment's authenticity as of this writing.
