• The history of Christianity begins in first-century Galilee. At that time, the Jews of the Holy Land were living under Roman occupation
• The man we know as Jesus was born in a Galilean village called Nazareth

Luke 2:1-7 describes Joseph and Mary as residents of Nazareth in the Galilee. They would have
had to travel for about a week to cover the approximately 90 miles from Nazareth in the Galilee
south to Bethlehem in Judea. 2 Luke says that they had to do this in order to take part in the
Roman census and taxation. Jesus was born while they were in Bethlehem.
Mark 6:1 contradicts Matthew by identifying Nazareth as Jesus' birthplace, as his "hometown."
!
John 7:41-43 also contradicts Matthew. It has people in a crowd rejecting Jesus as the Messiah
because the Messiah was expected to come from Bethlehem in Judea, whereas Jesus was known
to have come from Galilee. It can be argued that both Mark's and John's passages are compatible
with Luke's account, assuming that Joseph and Mary returned quickly from Bethlehem in Judea
to Nazareth.
!
There are numerous references in New Testament that identify Jesus as coming from Nazareth.
The early Christians were called "Nazarenes." Jesus was called "Jesus of Nazareth" or "Jesus the
Nazarene" or "Jesus the Nazorean" - and never "Jesus of Bethlehem."
Bethlehem, really?

People (continued)
!Mary Magdalene travelled with Jesus as one of his followers. She was was present at the two most important moments in the story of Jesus: the crucifixion and the resurrection
!The Passion of Christ is the story of Jesus Christ's arrest, trial, suffering and finally his execution by crucifixion. But it is only an episode in a longer story that includes the Resurrection
!Saint Paul is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the history of the Western world. Famously converted on the road to Damascus, he travelled tens of thousands of miles around the Mediterranean spreading the word of Jesus.
