Abstract
I return to the conflictual evidence about Jesus’ Bethlehem birth vs. his later association with Nazareth. I dispute that this is a problem at all, based on (1) the commonsense observation that families are mobile; (2) the semantics of πατρίς (homeland); (3) historical, philosophical, and poetic reflections on the fluidity of the concept of “homeland”; and, most importantly, (4) several examples of ancient persons who were associated with two or more places.
