How Bible evidence is growing year on year
Sceptics of the New Testament include a fringe element who dismiss the historical existence of Jesus altogether.
It is commonplace for those who hold such a view to claim that there is no archaeological evidence for various sites connected to Jesus, particularly in the area of Galilee. One example is so-called mythicist, Rene Salm, who published The Myth of Nazareth. He proposes that Nazareth was not settled until after AD 70 and that there was nothing there at the time of Jesus. Published in 2008, archaeology made the book out of date by 2009.
