Help me out: Obadiah and early Christianity
I'm investigating the possibility that "Oblias", an alternate name of James the Just according to Hegesippus, was actually a corruption of "Obdias" (i.e. "Obadiah"). Lambda and delta are fairly easy letters to mix up in a handwritten manuscript. I'm coming up almost blank, however. Does anyone know of connections between early Jewish Christianity and either the biblical prophet Obadiah or another contemporary Jew by that name?

Great question.
Did you ever get anywhere?
Someone thought oblias could be from Hebrew yoblah, meaning leading, iirc.
