THE SEXUAL LIFE OF JESUS

THE SEXUAL LIFE OF JESUS

The public fascination with Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, a story that begins with the premise that Jesus was married and fathered children, has been a surprise. The Da Vinci Code is roperly classified as fiction, but the beginning premise of this fancifull tale is actually more than plausible. It is in fact the most likely conjecture among the various possibilities regarding Jesus’ marital status. Now here do the biblical texts disclose any clear data on the subject. One of the noncanonical (extrabiblical) texts suggests that Jesus was paired with Mary Magdalene in a special way, a claim that cannot be dismissed out of hand as nonhistorical.
