From Jesus To Christ The First Christians part 2

Drawing upon historical evidence, this series challenges familiar assumptions and conventional notions about Christian origins. Archaeological finds have yielded new understandings of Jesus' class and social status; fresh interpretations have transformed earlier ideas about the identity of the early Christians and their communities. The scholars together represent a range of viewpoints and diversity of faiths and a shared commitment to bring new ways of thinking about Christianity to a public audience.

3;18 "Nazareth was a satellite village." Actually the archaeological evidence in Nazareth have not shown any evidence of habitation at the time of Jesus save for one single family house. And even that might be from the Hellenic Era instead of the Roman as commonly claimed. There was, on the other hand, plenty of evidence for agricultural industry there.

There is no evidence that Nazareth even existed at the time of Jesus (outside the Gospels). These American "historians" are making too many assumptions here. They're evidently Christians.

The New Testament may not be historically true. We need corroborative evidence of Jesus, and we don't have any!

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven

[Monkofmagnesia]

I like Professor Allen Callahan's description of Nazareth as being like Berkley of the 1960's. It is accurate, but also funny.
