Restricted simply to names and self-related symblosims.
Eva is a path in human evolution, a work of thousands of meanings.
The ebrew's and cristian's roots of what is showed during the episodes are
NEVER explained.
This means that Anno felt to use them not to take advantage of japanese
otaku's suggestibility, but on the contrary to stimulate the desire of
knowledge of well-minded people.
Anno has chosen the ebrew's wisdom because it deeply examine the human soul
(look for Sephirots Tree meanings). This is my opinion.
