Jesus had a wife

[misbehaved11]

Professor Karen King of Harvard Divinity School is promoting the view that Jesus was married and had a wife, based on a fragmentary document from the 4th century. I recommend the reply to her by Dr Albert Mohler, The Gospel of Jesus’ Wife? When Sensationalism Masquerades as Scholarship.

If you want Prof King's view, see this article in the Boston Globe, 'Harvard professor identifies scrap of papyrus suggesting some early Christians believed Jesus was married'.

What are the errors in Professor King's thinking regarding this information about Jesus' alleged wife? Could Dr Mohler be wrong in his assessment? If so, how?

Jesus will have many wives... but not in the way the world knows how to treat a wife. Hosea 2:16 "And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali."
