Re: Were the authors of the Greek NT Jewish?

Evidence for first-century Nazareth?
HI, Hello Steve, interesting suggestion that the NT Nazareth lies under Nitai. I can't comment on that. Is this conclusion the result of an argument like the following? 1. Luke describes Nazareth as being a "city" in Galilee on the brow of a hill 2. Nitai is a location in Galilee on the br...
