Archaeology of Jesus' Nazareth is the first book on the archaeology
of first-century Nazareth: Jesus' hometown in Galilee. Requiring no
previous knowledge of biblical history or archaeology, it outlines
the latest archaeological evidence, placing the Gospels' account of
Jesus' youth in the Bible, and origins of Christian pilgrimage, in
a new context. The book concentrates on the fascinating Sisters of
Nazareth site in the centre of the present city. There,
twenty-first century archaeological research identified a Byzantine
pilgrimage church, which is likely to be the Church of the
Nutrition - dedicated to the upbringing of Christ - the most
important previously 'lost' early Christian church in the Holy
Land. A seventh-century pilgrim said that a vaulted area under the
Church of the Nutrition contained the actual house where Jesus was
brought up by Mary and Joseph. Intriguingly, below the Byzantine
church at the Sisters of Nazareth site a vaulted area preserved
what are probably the ruins of a first-century house. Even before
the Byzantine church was built, a - probably fourth-century -
cave-church was constructed next to the first-century ruins,
suggesting that they were assigned Christian religious importance.
The similarities with the pilgrim's description raise the question
of whether the Sisters of Nazareth house really could have been the
childhood home of Jesus. The book draws to its conclusion by means
of a discussion of this historical existence for Jesus and the
implications of the archaeology of Nazareth for understanding the
Gospels.
