He also said the phrase encapsulates his own view. There was no mention of
Shanks' book in Maurice's statement, contra Yigal, so I think Dean's question
is legitimate, and perhaps we should let Maurice answer for himself. Does he
mean the phrase in reference to Shanks' book, to the James ossuary, or to
Christian belief in general? The statement as put forth in his post is vague
enough that it is reasonable to ask for a clarification.
