I was extremely disappointed to see the March front cover caption describing the Church of the Holy Sepulchre as the place “where Jesus’ body was placed before his resurrection” and to realize that the author missed what, to me, are the most precious places in the entire world: Golgotha, the place of the skull where Jesus was crucified, and the nearby Garden Tomb, the Protestant site, discovered in 1883 by the British officer Gen. Charles Gordon. Many believers consider this the biblically accurate place where Jesus was buried and rose again.
Editor’s note: Had General Gordon had the archeological information we now have, he might not have erred in challenging Early Church history. Today, scholars are as certain as they can be that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the site of Jesus’ tomb. They are even more certain that Gen. Gordon’s suggestions are incorrect.
