Christianity Today released an article pertaining to a notable controversy involving BAS. The article outlines the group’s highly publicised ‘discovery' of James’s (the brother of Jesus) 2000-year-old ossuary in 2003, which was subsequently embroiled in controversy as the box was found to be purchased off an antiquities dealer and not excavated by professional archeologists.

Laden’s article provides a comprehensive insight into the history of BAS, commencing with the founder, Hershel Shanks, initial inspiring experiences in Jerusalem, through to BAS’s establishment of an incorporated non-for-profit, Archaeological Preservation Fund and publication of the Biblical Archaeology Newspaper.
