PREVIEW; In this interview, historian James Tabor discusses his research into the historical identity of Jesus's biological father, as explored in his book The Lost Mary. He examines the ancient name Pantera, which appears in early texts and has been linked to both the family of Joseph and a specific Roman soldier stationed in Germany. By analyzing a nineteenth-century archaeological discovery of a tombstone belonging to a soldier from the Sidon region, Tabor investigates whether this individual could be the man mentioned in ancient traditions. While traditional scholarship identifies Josephas the father, Tabor uses archaeological evidence and linguistic clues to consider alternative possibilities. His work seeks to reconstruct the life of Mary by synthesizing fragmentary historical records and physical artifacts. This investigation highlights the complexities of tracing ancestral lineages through the intersection of biblical tradition and Roman military history. MORE TOMORROW, CHRISTMAS DAY. 1687
Ever wondered what Mary, the mother of Jesus, was really like—beyond the nativity scenes and stained glass? This week, Megan Lewis sits down with Dr. James Tabor to dig into the life of the "woman behind the Messiah," exploring surprising theories about Mary's origins, her possible royal and priestly lineage, and her true role in the earliest days of Christianity. Was she really just a humble villager—or something much more? Tune in for a lively conversation that blends historical detective work, ancient drama, and just a pinch of scholarly mischief to help you see Mary as you've never seen her before.
Jesus's mother Mary likely lived for over 40 years, but many believers only think of her in two places, the Nativity and the Crucifixion. The scholar James Tabor wants to change that.
The Early Church Headquarters on Mount Zion: Colleague James Tabor discusses archaeology on Mount Zion revealing a first-century foundation beneath a medieval church, likely the headquarters of the early movement, describing this as the home where James led the church and Mary hosted pilgrims, with Mary possibly living long enough to witness James's martyrdom. 1950 BEERSHEBA
The Historical Disappearance of Mary: Colleague James Tabor explains that following the crucifixion, Mary disappears from the biblical record, likely dying before the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem; while early Christians fled to Pella under Simon's leadership, traditions suggest Mary died on Mount Zion, with Tabor arguing she was "written out" of the story by later traditions. 1650
The Talpiot Tomb and Ossuary Evidence: Colleague James Tabor discusses a tomb discovered in 1980 containing ossuaries with a unique cluster of names, including Jesus, Maria, and Jose, suggesting this could be the Jesus family tomb, supported by statistical analysis and an ossuary inscribed "James son of Joseph brother of Jesus," with new DNA testing underway. 1850 JERUSALEM
Mary's Influence on Early Christian Teachings: Colleague James Tabor examines the "Q" source containing teachings shared by Matthew and Luke that parallel the words of James and John the Baptist, positing that Mary, as the mother, was the source of this shared wisdom, arguing that historians must reclaim her humanity and influence from theological erasure. 1947 GALILEE
Virgin Birth Theology and Historical Family Reality — James Tabor — Tabor analyzes the Protoevangelium of James, an apocryphal Christian text depicting Mary as a temple-raised perpetual virgin and Joseph as an elderly protective guardian specifically appointed to explain away Jesus's documented siblings mentioned in Gospel narratives. Tabor contrasts this "fantastic story" theological construction with historical reality of a typical Jewish woman—Mary—who likely maintained a large extended family and experienced early widowhood following Joseph's death, situating her within ordinary Jewish family and social structures rather than exceptional sacred status. 1698
James: True Successor and Leadership of Jerusalem Movement — James Tabor — Tabor argues that James, Jesus's biological brother, functioned as the authentic successor to the Jesus movement leadership, not Peter as traditionally claimed. Tabor cites non-canonical textual sources and the Acts of the Apostles demonstrating that Jamespresided over the Jerusalem Council, making determinations regarding Jewish law observance by Christian converts. Tabor emphasizes the profound familial bond between the brothers and documents Mary's presence with Jesus and James at the crucifixion scene, indicating James maintained centrality to Jesus's personal and theological circle. 1698
Sepphoris: Urban Center of Jesus's Galilee Upbringing — James Tabor — Tabor identifies Sepphoris (also Sephus) as the substantial Roman administrative capital of Galilee, establishing it as the likely birthplace location for Mary rather than the village of Nazareth. Tabor suggests that Joseph functioned as a stonemason or construction worker helping rebuild Sepphoris following its destruction during a Jewish revolt, placing Jesus's early upbringing in a politically volatile, cosmopolitan urban environment characterized by Roman military occupation rather than rural isolation traditionally depicted in religious literature. 1650
The Pantera Mystery: Historical Inquiry Into Jesus's Biological Father — James Tabor — Tabor investigates the name "Pantera," which appears linked to Jesus in early Jewish texts and on a Roman tombstone discovered in Germany. Tabor explores whether this historical name indicates that Jesus possessed a biological father—potentially a Roman soldier or Jewish relative—thereby challenging orthodox Christian theology regarding virgin birth through historical investigation into what Tabor characterizes as "Mary's secret." Tabor emphasizes that this historical hypothesis requires examination of textual evidence and archaeological artifacts traditionally excluded from theological discourse. 1687
PREVIEW — James Tabor — Historical Investigation: Roman Soldier as Potential Father of Jesus. Tabor conducts historical investigation of ancient textual evidence suggesting Pantera as potential alternative name associated with Jesus's biological father. Tabor examines archaeological evidence including the tombstone of Roman soldier Julius Abdes Pantera, originally from Jerusalem vicinity, exploring whether this military officer rather than canonical Joseph was Jesus's biological father. Tabor emphasizes this historical hypothesis challenges traditional religious narratives while raising complex questions regarding Gospel documentary reliability and the relationship between historical evidence and theological tradition within early Christian communities.
At the beginning of advent, Helen and Lloyd sit down with Dr James Tabor to discuss the best-known and least-known woman in history: Mary, the mother of Jesus. They explore how second-century Christians reshaped Mary's story and obscured the historical woman behind the traditions. They also unpack the rumours surrounding Jesus' paternity, the emergence of Mary's perpetual virginity and the long-debated identity of Jesus' brothers and sisters. Dr James Tabor is a retired Professor of Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he taught from 1989 until 2022. He is well known for his 2006 book, The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, his Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity and his most recent book, which Helen and Lloyd discuss on this episode, is The Lost Mary: Rediscovering the Mother of Jesus.SUPPORT BIBLICAL TIME MACHINEIf you enjoy the podcast, please (pretty please!) consider supporting the show through the Time Travellers Club, our Patreon.

Dr. James Tabor is a recently retired Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He is an expert on Early Christianity and Greco-Roman religions more broadly. He has written many books and published many articles. He has his own YouTube channel and blog as well. In this episode we talk about the Apostle Paul's cosmology and how that helps us understand his Christology.
The Jesus Discovery: The Resurrection Tomb that Reveals the Birth of Christianity The Jesus Discovery is the story of a stunning new discovery that provides the first physical evidence of Christians in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus and his apostles. In 2010, using a specialized robotic camera, authors Tabor and Jacobovici explored a previously unexcavated tomb in Jerusalem from around the time of Jesus. They made a remarkable discovery—two ossuaries, or bone boxes, one carved with the earliest known image of Jonah; the other displaying a reference to resurrection. Since the newly discovered ossuaries can be reliably dated to before 70 AD, it is possible that whoever was buried in this tomb knew Jesus and heard him preach. In addition, the newly examined tomb is in close proximity to the so-called Jesus Family Tomb, and its discovery increases the likelihood that the “Jesus Family Tomb” is, indeed, the real tomb of Jesus of Nazareth. James D. Tabor is Professor of Christian Origins and Ancient Judaism in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where he has taught since 1989. Previously he held posts at Notre Dame and William and Mary. He holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies and early Christianity from the University of Chicago and is an expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Christian origins. https://jamestabor.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qyrrdoqspdg

The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity n The Jesus Dynasty, biblical scholar James Tabor brings us closer than ever to the historical Jesus. Jesus, as we know, was the son of Mary, a young woman who became pregnant before her marriage to a man named Joseph. The gospels tell us that Jesus had four brothers and two sisters, all of whom probably had a different father than his. He joined a messianic movement begun by his relative John the Baptizer, whom he regarded as his teacher and a great prophet. John and Jesus together filled the roles of the Two Messiahs who were expected at the time: John, as a priestly descendant of Aaron, and Jesus, as a royal descendant of David. Together they preached the coming of the Kingdom of God. Theirs was an apocalyptic movement that expected God to establish his kingdom on earth, as described by the Prophets. The Two Messiahs lived in a time of turmoil as the historical land of Israel was dominated by the powerful Roman Empire. Fierce Jewish rebellions against Rome occurred during Jesus' lifetime. This is a book that will change our understanding of one of the most crucial moments in history.

In this “compulsively readable exploration of the tangled world of Christian origins” (Publishers Weekly), religious historian James Tabor illuminates the earliest years of Jesus' teachings before Paul shaped them into the religion we know today. This fascinating examination of the earliest years of Christianity reveals how the man we call St. Paul shaped Christianity as we know it today. Historians know almost nothing about the two decades following the crucifixion of Jesus, when his followers regrouped and began to spread his message. During this time Paul joined the movement and began to preach to the gentiles. Using the oldest Christian documents that we have—the letters of Paul—as well as other early Christian sources, James reconstructs the origins of Christianity. He shows how Paul separated himself from Peter and James to introduce his own version of Christianity, which would continue to develop independently of the message that Jesus, James, and Peter preached. Paul and Jesus illuminates the fascinating period of history when Christianity was born out of Judaism. James D. Tabor is Professor of Christian Origins and Ancient Judaism in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where he has taught since 1989. Previously he held posts at Notre Dame and William and Mary. He holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies and early Christianity from the University of Chicago and is an expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Christian origins. https://www.amazon.com/Pauls-Ascent-Paradise-Apostolic-Experiences-ebook/dp/B08G8YQL6K/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=James+Tabor&qid=1630534553&sr=8-3
In this “compulsively readable exploration of the tangled world of Christian origins” (Publishers Weekly), religious historian James Tabor illuminates the earliest years of Jesus' teachings before Paul shaped them into the religion we know today. This fascinating examination of the earliest years of Christianity reveals how the man we call St. Paul shaped Christianity as we know it today. Historians know almost nothing about the two decades following the crucifixion of Jesus, when his followers regrouped and began to spread his message. During this time Paul joined the movement and began to preach to the gentiles. Using the oldest Christian documents that we have—the letters of Paul—as well as other early Christian sources, James reconstructs the origins of Christianity. He shows how Paul separated himself from Peter and James to introduce his own version of Christianity, which would continue to develop independently of the message that Jesus, James, and Peter preached.

Top Ten Genesis Gleanings (Chapters 1-3) At the first of ELOHIM creating … ordering not origin of the universe ELOHIM=EL/Eloah, EL Elyon, EL Shaddai=Force or power, thus “the Force of all Forces” and the concept of the nameless “unnamed” One YeHoVah used for the first time in 2:4 is not a “name” per se, and […]

Today we consult with not only Matthew 3:4 and Mark 1:6 with their references to "locusts and honey", but also explore the world of early Christian writings as well as scholarly texts. Some who know Greek and are affiliated with Eastern Orthodox Christianity believe that the mention of "locusts" in the New Testament actually refers to locust beans, also known as carob beans. Some describe "Saint John's bread" or "manna bread" as being made of locust bean flour, also known as carob flour, turned into a kind of Middle-eastern flat bread. "In ancient texts the references to 'honey' in antiquity can refer equally to honey produced by bees, or to any number of other sweet substances, including dates, figs, pods, or sap/gum from carob or other trees." (John the Baptist’s Wild Honey and Honey in Antiquity, by James A. Kelhoffer) There is a ‘vegetarian’ depiction of John’s diet in the Syriac Life and Martyrdom of John the Baptist supplying us with some context and it points to the sap in plants as being the natural sweet substance or "honey". The Life and Martyrdom of John the Baptist is attributed to Mark the Evangelist: "So, at once he [John the Baptist] was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he traveled into the wilderness. He was brought up in the wilderness, eating tips of plants and the sap in the plants." The Slavonic edition of the Book of Josephus actually contains a saying attributed to John the Baptist: "I am pure; [for] the Spirit of God has led me on, and [I live on] cane and roots and tree-food." Josephus also describes the desert or wilderness diet of John the Baptist. We also consult with, The Life of John the Baptist by Sarapion; The Gospel of the Ebionites, another name for the Jesus Movement. We learn of their cousins in the John the Baptist sect (Nasoraeans); also about Epiphanius. And we examine the historic record and scholarly analysis of Bart Ehrman; Robert Eisenman; James Kelhoffer; Keith Akers, James Tabor; E.S. Drower; and G.R.S. Mead. We conclude with a reading from the vegetarian Prayer of Thanksgiving from the Hermetica, as well as the parallel version about this agape love feast or communal meal found in the Nag Hammadi Library.
In episode five, the discussion begins with an explanation of textual divisions transmitted by the hands of ancient scribes before the introduction of chapters and verses into the texts. Genesis 2:4 is the beginning of the second division, the subject of which is the “bringing forth of the skies and the land.” A central point […]

The internet…has been broken…we've ended up with the same media construct that we had before the internet existed, which is audience aggregation and data aggregation…" says James Tabor, CEO of MEDIA Protocol. Tabor's vision is one in which people can create, promote and share digital content in a decentralized environment, allowing for greater transparency in the flow of value between creators, publishers, and users while rewarding those users for reading, liking and promoting content; MEDIA Protocol is an open-source platform that aims to do just this. By harnessing the power of blockchain technology to track the flow of data between devices and tokenize activity on the web, MEDIA Protocol is helping to eliminate third-party media owners who profit from centralized means of content transmission. MEDIA Protocol has finalized its smart contract and is close to launching a publishing portal that will allow brands, publishers, agencies- or really anyone who owns a URL- to create their own smart contract and wallet that will allow them to distribute value.
