First public showing of stone

<a href="http://www.vision.org/visionmedia/article.aspx?id=6820">Gabriel's Revelation</a>, a piece of stone with ink writing dating to the time of Herod's Temple, is on display in Houston as part of a new exhibition "<a href="http://www.hmns.org/exhibits/special_exhibits/birth_of_christianity.asp?r=1">The Birth of Christianity: A Jewish Story</a>" presently showing at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.  The Houston Chronicle's Barbara Karkabi introduces the exhibition in the Chronicle's <a href="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/religion/6162077.html">Houston Belief</a> with the question:<blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"><blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr">Did Christianity begin with the birth of Jesus and his death on the cross 33 years later? Or were its roots buried deeply in ancient Judaism?</blockquote></blockquote>In raising that question, Karkabi takes the whole issue of the roots of Christianity out of its perceived origins and invites the reader and viewer to consider Christianity in its Jewish milieu. In doing so, the question of celebrations on December 25 is called into question. 10 application/xml false Archaeology birth of Jesus Christ Christian origins Christmas Dead Sea Scrolls Gabriel's Revelation Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB5; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.1) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 pnathan 66.125.198.98 false true false false true 188838 false false true false false false true 221981 Resource 188838 173239 170084 1230479340143 1230485561136 Controlled jesus is the way only through christ can the people find paradise
