Cognate Meaning for "Jason"
Classfellow R.B. passes on the helpful information that "....Joshua means "suppliant" so, if Jason and Joshua are the same, then perhaps the image on the front of the book is Jason?"
In lecture, you established a parallel between Jason and Jesus, but you didn't directly answer what actually happened to Jason or where he is at the conclusion of the book. Is it safe to assume, drawing on the Christian belief that Christ was physically raised up into heaven, that Jason was also physically raised from this world? (Although, I suppose he wouldn't have been resurrected in the same way as Jesus, but rather removed from society in the same sense as the Sasquatch is removed.)

You don't need me to do this, I see....
