No evidence of forgery in ancient text mentioning ‘Jesus’s wife

Story in the Boston Globe
"“I’m basically hoping that we can move past the issue of forgery to questions about the significance of this fragment for the history of Christianity, for thinking about questions like, ‘Why does Jesus being married, or not, even matter? Why is it that people had such an incredible reaction to this?’ ” King said in an interview."
