Just for clarification, when I posted the phrase "a largely Gentile audience" I had the New Testament as a whole in mind.

And thanks for your reply Boston.

David Kopel has written on this same topic here:

I could not see the first page of it because of my older version of Acrobat Reader, unfortunately. Perhaps it parallels Boston's research. I sent the link of this thread to David so he could see what Boston came up with.

You might really like KPDF for Linux.  I have it installed under Linux Ubuntu.  Not sure if it would run under Puppy.  But it really rox.  Beats toads out of Adobe Photoshop in exporting images from .pdf files.  http://kpdf.kde.org/

I think it is based on or acknowledges features from xpdf http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/
My long posts make some think I'm a key figure in FSW.  I'm not. I'm not an officer nor a leader.  I'm just this guy.  I think FSW is a great idea, & defend & promote it as I'm able.   Assuming that anyone agrees w/me is mistaken. Your bad results from your poor assumptions are your responsibility.
