The Spoof - New Dead Sea Scrolls Translation Prove Da Vinci Code False:
Translators, Archaeologists, and Bible Scholars in Jerusalem have just finished work on the translation of another of the Dead Sea Scrolls. This one, known as The Gospel of Peter, also describes the time period after the crucifixion (historically covered only in The Acts of The Apostles) and proves many of the allegations of Dan Brown’s bestselling The Da Vinci Code to be false.Ishmael Abraham of the Israeli Center for Translation of Ancient Manuscripts released the following statement: “We have finished with The Gospel of Peter and are now ready for publication. The things found in this scroll will rock Judaism and Christianity to their very cores and blow new believers in the role of Mary Magdalene out of the water.”
“This gospel is apparently written by the Apostle Simon Peter or his scribe. It relates the struggles of an infant church movement in bringing Christianity to the Roman, Jewish, and Greek world and chronicles the early missionary efforts by the early apostles and others. It also gives us a more intimate look into the family life of Jesus of Nazareth, called The Christ.”
“We must remember historically that Jesus was very close to Peter. He was one of the first disciples to be chosen, he went with Jesus to the Mount of Transfiguration, he became the Chief Apostle and man in charge after the Ascension, and he walked on the water. This find and translation is significant because it comes to us from a man in the inner circle of the early Christian movement.”
Very droll.
