Wither the Jesus Tomb

Ben Witherington posts a detailed refutation of the arguments related to the so-called Jesus tomb. Among the many problems with the claims is the simple fact that Jesus, while a special name to us, was in fact a quite popular name, one of the most common in Judea of that time. So to be ecstatic about finding something indicating a son of Jesus is about as spectacular as finding an inscription today about somebody being the son of Paul. Being the son of Paul does not mean you're the son of Paul McCartney.
