Jesus’ Boyhood Home Found

Skeptics of the historicity of Scripture will often point to a lack of archeological evidence to substantiate their claims. If the Bible says a certain town existed or a certain king ruled, and archeology has not yet uncovered evidence of the town or king, the argument goes that the Bible is inaccurate and unreliable. The problem with this kind of argument is that archeology is a progressive science – they keep on digging stuff up. Over and over, the historical and geographical claims of Scripture are verified.
One such point of contention has been the town of Nazareth. The existence of Nazareth is an important claim, because Scripture says Jesus came from there. In fact, early Christians were called Nazarenes. Though some small items and artifacts existed which hinted at the town Nazareth existing in the time of Christ, until this year no town existed.
But then it got dug up.
This raises some important insights into archeology and the truth of Scripture. So here are some thoughts for you as you watch the news and hear of these kinds of things happening from time to time.
