An accidental biblical archaeologist?
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter tells the story of how the author became involved in the archaeology of Nazareth, and especially how he came to direct fieldwork from 2006 to 2010 on the famous ‘House of Jesus’ at the Sisters of Nazareth site. This is a more personal account of the project than any previously published extended description, discussing the background and initial establishment of the author’s archaeological research project on Nazareth and its immediate surroundings (the Nazareth Archaeological Project) in narrative form. It also corrects media and other misconceptions about the motivation and rationale for this project, and the sort of people involved in it.
