Quote: Perhaps. But unlike almost all of his resolutions this one is actually plausible. Linking Nathaniel with Bartholomew is completely speculative, AFAIK. OTOH, there's certainly enough evidence from the Bible that the same person could be known by different names (regardless of why they might do that). For example Peter is explicitely equated to Caiphas (or was it Cephas?) and also Paul=Saul. If God wanted us to be Atheists we'd be born that way.

I grant that it is plausible. But the associations created might also have been done dishonestly to reconcile stories.
