"Karen King Responds to 'The Unbelievable Tale of Jesus's Wife'"

"The Unbelievable Tale of Jesus's Wife," The Atlantic, July/August 2016 issue.

"[A] madcap, unforgettable book...for enthusiasts of ancient Christianity...and readers of idea-driven capers, whether by Daniel Silva or Janet Malcolm. It’s a barely believable tale, crazier than a tweed-sniffer in the faculty lounge."
