Response to Noah

Cool stuff you've got there! Here are a couple initial thoughts:

Most jews take a Hebrew and Greek or Latin name. Our text notes that in the footnotes of Ax 2. Yeshua is the Hebrew form of Jesus; both were common names. An interesting note: "Yeshua" is Hebrew for "Salvation" or "God Saves."

Symbology is a word with a slightly different meaning from the more commonly used Semiotics. I researched this while reading The Da Vinci Code. Symbology has an anthropological application where Semiotics is a more general study.
