(I happen to know one, but that’s not the point.)

What is your opinion on the interpretation of Hebrews 11:31 and James 2:25 that says the NT authors are praising or are at the very least approving of her lying to the kings men?

I thought it was a beautiful name and a great reminder of our heritage and God who calls all His covenant people out of darkness and into the light.

She is a beautiful picture of God’s grace.

David is a lovely name, commonly used both in NA and the UK. Maybe I’m somewhat partial to it, as it happens to be my husband’s name, too.

I don’t think it is a matter of there being too much grace in her story, or too little faith on our part. It is the fact that her name is connected with her past profession.

Taste is personal, but I happen to think it has a rather homely ring to it. Also, consider that it is very often said as, “Rahab the harlot.”
This is interesting: http://www.name-list.net/facebook/firstname/Rahab
Sure makes you glad your mother and father named you David, doesn’t it?
