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.
