That's cause the Old Testament rocks. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc Send a noteboard - 09/07/2010 06:14:22 PM
Whether you believe that it is fiction or non-fiction or a little bit of both, there certainly are a boat load of characters. How often are names repeated? It seems to me that in the New Testament, quite a bit, but in the Old Testament (which has a lot more characters), I don't recall a lot of repeated names.
At last, I have an apostrophe!

Actually, I never thought "John" and "Jonathan" were different names. - 10/07/2010 12:41:36 AM 559 Views
