Very interesting. I will say though, that though Choen is Jewish, he Does not shy away from singing about Christian themes, specifically referencing Jesus. "and Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water, and he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower. And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him, he said 'all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them'"
One of the coolest lines ever, and talkes specifically about he miracle of Jesus walking on the water, and then the crucifixion and how only when men are in peril and need it most are they most open to him, so let men be in peril on Earth in order to be freed when finding Jesus.
I think in the end, there is probably just a big mishmash of new and old testament infuence running throughout all of his poetry.
