// What U2 Album Title Is A Subtle Reference To The Cross of Christ?

"The Joshua Tree" (1987). Joshua is an anglicanization of the Hebrew name for Jesus ["Yeshue"] and for centuries the word "tree" has been a term used to describe the wooden cross on which Christ was crucified. Some pretty intense stuff I'm learning about U2 but I still don't know if their christian or not. The band members drink, smoke and swear — yet a radical biblical agenda and faith fuel their life and work. A book I want is called "Walk On: The Spiritual Journey of U2." (Birthday is in a couple months, right that down!) It looks like a very interesting book and I love learning about these guys because there so confusing! You drink, but your a christian? Somethings up, I want to know more.
