Was Jesus married? Filmmaker explores this question

Huntington University welcomes back its adjunct professor, Emmy award-winning filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici, for a Feb. 25 talk and the screening of an episode of his latest television series, “Biblical Conspiracies.”

The six-part series airs on Vision TV and purports to pursue stories hiding in the codes and symbols left behind by those with a secret to keep. Each hour-long episode sets out to investigate an unknown story discovered within a genuine, undisputed artifact.

Using flashy, graphic-novel style animation, stylized CGI, recreations and forensic science, the series explores the time period in which the artifact existed and what it meant to the people who treasured it.

Jacobovici will be presenting a special extended edition of the episode “Bride of God.” The episode is based on the book co-written by Jacobovici and Professor Barrie Wilson titled, "The Lost Gospel."

The hunt takes viewers from the UK to Turkey and across the Holy Land finding clues in ancient mosaics, artwork and desert caves in an effort to determine if there was actually a marriage between Jesus of Nazareth and Mary Magdalene.

The event takes place at Silver City Cinemas starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are free of charge, and can be picked up at Huntington University's reception office.
