Ice-ice baby.

Calling Dan Brown. I see a 50 million book sales market right here, eclipsing his previous work. A new study by a professor of oceanography at the Florida State University, claims that Jesus may actually have walked on ice.
Doron Nof, a professor of oceanography, said a rare combination of water and atmospheric conditions in the Sea of Galilee 2,000 years ago may offer a scientific explanation for one of the miracles recounted in the Bible.
Nof said a patch of ice floating in the Sea of Galilee, which is actually a freshwater lake, would have been difficult to distinguish from unfrozen water surrounding it. Link.
With reports of a new manuscript surfacing, which claims that Judas was actually Jesus' most favored disciple, the renewed interest in the Bible, the Catholic Church and the intrigue surrounding the life of Jesus can only continue.
An early Christian manuscript, including the only known text of the Gospel of Judas, has surfaced after 1,700 years, and it portrays Judas Iscariot not as a betrayer of Jesus but as his favored disciple and willing collaborator. Link.
I can just see Messieurs Brown, Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln, in a wild scramble to see who can capitalize first on this new goldmine.

Loved the book. Never knew a work of fiction could be so well researched! However, as I just started going to church two years ago... it left me with a lot of questions and confusion.
