First of all, great point. As a Christian, I look for Christ and the Bible in a lot of things, if not everything, and Halo is my favorite game so kudos to your great point. I remember reading something about Christian symbols in Halo awhile ago, but I don't remember where. That point on John 117 and John 1:17 is really great.
I was considering what the other Spartans would represent in your allegory. It's been awhile since I read the books, so I can probably come up with something as I re-read them, but maybe the idea will give you something to chew on.
I was trying to compare them to the disciples, but the numbers of those in the Spartan II program are way over 12. There are 33 candidates that survived the augmentation process. That was how old Jesus is believed to be when he died. This is sort of a long shot, but that could speak of how important those 33 years of life are. I mean, Jesus Christ is the most influential life ever to walk the face of this earth, so his years of life in human flesh are extremely important.
In the Halo world, those 33 Spartans did key things to save the human race. I know that sort of clashes with John representing Jesus, but he was the best and surviving member of the Spartan II program.
Idk, its a idea. Thanks for the though provoking post!! I am sure I will add more here as I come up with it.
