[B]In "The Incredible Shrinking Son of Man" Price briefly discusses the "from Nazareth" issue (pgs. 53-54):



Price mentions that there seems to be no record of a town called Nazareth before the 3rd century but does not go into specifics. He then goes on to discuss a Jewish sect known as “Nazoreans� that existed at the time. Reading this part left me with the impression that we are dealing with either a mistranslation or a misinterpretation.

If you go here and go to the title, Getting a Name, about half way down the page, it explains the Jewish sects pretty well.

Thanks, Baterboy! Had seen that page before and was looking (unsuccessfuly) for it in my favorites this morning. Have it bookmarked this time.

Thomasine Christians like myself are appaled at such ignorant notions!

As are some of us interested outside observers, though I'd say I'm more puzzled than appalled.
