Explanation:

Question 96

Biblical archaeologists today view the Bible as a historical text (using it to inform historical research on ancient Near Eastern societies), not literal (modern archaeology doesn't take it as literal truth), apocryphal (apocryphal texts are non - canonical, not the Bible itself), or Zoroastrian (Zoroastrian is a different religion).

Scholarly debate around the James ossuary inscription suggests that "brother of Jesus" is the part some consider a fake addition, as the other parts ("James", "son of Joseph") fit typical naming conventions of the time, while "brother of Jesus" has been questioned for authenticity.
