Names

[Craig]

    Names like Peter, James, John, Mathew.... these do not sound like Jewish names. How did what sounds like me to English names ever git into the Bible?

    Dear Herman:

    Nope, it's the other way around. Those Jewish "Bible" names GOT INTO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

    God be with you,
