I haven't read the article yet, but I imagine apologists want to first explain the case of missing Nazareth, and then explain why there is no evidence of Christian communities in Ephesus, Galatia, Thessalonika, etc. at the time the person called Paul supposedly existed. Not to mention all the Christian communities in Judea and Galilee.
Speaking of Galilee, it should be significant that the authors of the Gospels were so partial to settlements around the Sea of Galilee for the Jesus figure.....
