In 2008, The New York Times reported on the discovery of a Hebrew tablet, dating from before the birth of Christ, which predicted a Messiah who would rise from the dead after three days. Famed religious scholar Daniel Boyarin stated that 'some Christians will find it shocking - a challenge to the uniqueness of their theology.' In Jewish Gospels, Boyarin makes a radical argument that conventional wisdom on the origins of Christianity is wrong.
