I read a recent piece on WorldNetDaily titled “What’s This? Now they claim a resurrection before Jesus.” From what I understand, similar stories also appeared in the Fort Worth Star Telegram and the Dallas Morning News.
According to a scholar who has studied the ancient relic mentioned in the story, the New Testament account of Christ’s resurrection is confirmed as a myth due to this particular relic and therefore will be a shocking challenge to Christian theology.
It's amazing to me that some scholars are so eager to reject the New Testament -in particular Christ and His claims- that they will base their conclusions on an incomplete relic. Since so much of New Testament history has been confirmed via archaeology it seems more logical to grant it the credibility it deserves. Furthermore, I don't see how it's logical to conclude that since there might have been another resurrection "story" that some how that makes the New Testament account untrue. It seems absurd to me.

Dr. Gary Habermas of Liberty University has written a response to this titled, "'Gabriel's Vision' and the Resurrection of Jesus." You can read it here: http://www.garyhabermas.com/articles/gabrielsvision1/gabrielsvision.htm
