DESCRIPTION:After more than a century and a half of largely unscientific 
 ‘Biblical Archaeology’\, in the last two decades\, mainstream scientif
 ic archaeological research has been transforming our understanding of the 
 earliest Christians in the Holy Land. This lecture will outline some of th
 ese exciting twenty-first-century discoveries\, shedding new light on Naza
 reth and its surroundings\, urban settlement around the Sea of Galilee\, t
 he earliest churches\, and re-dating the origins of Christian pilgrimage. 
 The implications of each of these for understanding the early Christian wo
 rld\, and even – at Nazareth and on the shores of the Sea of Galilee –
  for the interpretation of the Gospels themselves\, go far beyond the topo
 graphical identifications of earlier archaeologists working in this region
 \, offering new insights into both the New Testament narrative and pre-Con
 stantinian Christian life in this region.
