Existence of Nazareth in Jesus Time Questioned
A fragment of a Hebrew inscription found at Caesarea may place Nazareth in the late second to fourth century and provide early Hebrew references to Nazareth. Archaeologists from Israel and the Southern Baptist Seminary say the find supports scriptural statements about Jesus’ origin, challenging views that Nazareth did not exist in his era. The fragment lists priestly families and their towns in Galilee, with experts placing it in 2nd to 4th century A.D. and suggesting Nazareth as a site of settlement in Jesus’ time.
