The most pressing Biblical questions: There are any number of pressing Biblical questions. Among them, who was Jesus' fisherman? How did Paul turn a rag-tag Jewish sect into a major world religion? Did the walls of Jericho really fall, and should the residents have sued the contractor for shoddy work? Then there's always the jovial conversation starter: "Who killed Jesus?" But never fear, for the Discovery Channel, in cooperation with the always Judeophile BBC, is taking on these and other questions. In a 10-part series beginning Wednesday, we'll learn about the real Mary Magdalene and how Joseph rose to the heights of Egyptian power. Questions sadly left unaddressed: What effect did the Great Flood have on soil erosion? After the Nile turned back into water, where did all the blood go? Was there an Egyptian equivalent of the Environmental Protection Agency checking for water contaminate levels?
