Some may not recognize the name, but Simcha was (and maybe is, I don't know if this series is still being produced) the host and producer of a show called the
Naked Archaeologist. In each show, he pursues some question related to the Bible (the Old Testament, at least). In every episode he comes up with an answer that was invariably, it seems, is novel and goes against the prevailing scholarly opinion.
More recently, Simcha has achieved notoriety because of a claim that he, along with a scholar named James Tabor who heretofore, at least, had great academic credentials, made about a tomb in the Talpiot neighborhood of Jerusalem. They claim that it is the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth and his family. That's the subject of
The Jesus Discovery book that you posted. The implications of that are enormous if what the book says is true--it would seem to have to mean that Jesus Christ was not resurrected (physically/bodily, at least) from the dead.
