On December 21st, 2009, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced an archaeological discovery that may cause red faces for those who have doubted the New Testament’s historical accuracy, after a 1st century house was discovered in the area where the Nazareth of Christ’s time was located. Although Nazareth exists today as a thriving Arab city of 65,000 in northern Israel, many scholars have insisted it didn’t exist during Jesus’ lifetime. For example, in 2006, American Atheist Press published a book by Rene Salm entitled, The Myth of Nazareth. The author summarises his findings: “What must matter to all Christians, however, is the inescapable fact that the evangelists invented this basic element in the story of cosmic redemption. The proof is now at hand that ‘Jesus of Nazareth,’ a long-standing icon of Western civilization, is bogus.” Archaeologist Stephen Pfann, president of the University of The Holy Land, states: “It’s the only witness that we have from that area that shows us what the walls and floors were like inside Nazareth in the first century.”
