All,
The ossuary in question is supposed to be that of "James the son of
Joseph, the brother of Jesus." In the newspaper account of this, it
was indicated that the Catholic church maintains that "James, the
brother of Jesus" means "cousin." Do any of the language experts here
know if there is any linguistic basis for this claim, or is it just a
doctrinal necessity?
