After posting the previous message about the cave, I decided to add this to the BiblePlaces.com website with a few photos (here). In the last few days I’ve added some new links to that page. I’ll include such here as well:
Letter by James Tabor, giving details not in published sources
Christianity Today Weblog, suspicious of the claim
NTGateway Weblog, refers to a number of sources (including my article)
AKMA’s Random Thoughts, observations of a doubter
Search for the Sacred (Newsweek), a longer article giving some of the background of biblical archaeology and concluding with the assessment of the cave by some scholars (“It’s pure fiction. It’s not archeology,” says one).
Video of John the Baptist Cave (xtra) – 42 second clip by a news organization.
