   This is where King’s training as a historian of early Christianity came to   
   bear.   
      
   Some of the phrases echoed, if distantly, passages in Luke, Matthew and the   
   Gnostic gospels about the role of family in the life of disciples. The   
   parallels convinced King that this gospel was originally composed, most   
   likely in Greek, in the second century A.D., when such questions were a   
   subject of lively theological discussion. (The term “gospel,” as King   
   uses it in her analysis, is any early Christian writing that describes the   
   life—or afterlife—of Jesus.) Despite the New Testament’s many Marys,   
   King infers from a variety of clues and comparisons that the “Mary” in   
   Line 3 is “probably” Magdalene, and that the “wife” in Line 4 and the   
   “she” in Line 5 is this same Mary.   
      
   In the weeks leading up to the mid-September announcement, King worried that   
   people would read the headlines and misconstrue her paper as an argument that   
   the historical Jesus was married. But the “Gospel of Jesus’s Wife” was   
   written too long after Jesus’ death to have any value as biography—a   
   point King underscores in her forthcoming article intheHarvard Theological   
   Review.

   Again, no proof, conjecture.
