Response to Leo Depuydt, “The Alleged Gospel of Jesus's Wife: Assessment and Evaluation of Authenticity.”

King asserts that Leo Depuydt's essay does not offer any substantial evidence or persuasive argument, let alone unequivocal surety, that the "Gospel of Jesus's Wife" fragment is a modern fabrication (forgery). Should the fragment be proved on other grounds to be such, a few of these observations may, however, be useful in hypothesizing how it may have been done.
