Don't know about any website, although there might be one. I read his Introduction to the New Testament which is in two volumes. I don't remember if I read it in the first or second one, probably the second.

True.

The main problem I have with the idea that Nazareth has anything to do with Nazarites is that aside from the first few letters, there's no connection. It's at least as strained a connection as the association of Nazareth with the Hebrew word for branch, netzer.

I agree that the connection to the town of Nazareth is quite tenuous.

He was censored by that which circumcision is a foreshadow and drank wine to show that he was free from the law of slavery and sin.

Nah, Professor Chili doesn't even sound right.
