Why didn't I think of that.
Still curious about President Harding -- if anyone stumbles into the
information, let me know!
Thanks.

The Wikipedia entry gives the English pronunciation with a long, stressed
second a, but from the Greek entry (the Hebrew I leave to others, since,
obviously, it has no vowels) I'd guess that in other languages the second a
would be short, or at least an "ah" sound.
Gamaliel the Elder (English pronunciation: /ɡəˈmeɪljəl/),[1] or Rabbi Gamaliel
I (גמליאל הזקן; Greek: Γαμαλιήλ ο Πρεσβύτερος)

Sorta off topic question: How do you pronounce "Gamaliel?" Is there a story
to how Warren Harding got that for a middle name?

Tolerationists during the period often referred to Gamaliel. For example, see
John Goodwin's tract, Theomachia; or The Grand Imprudence of men running the
hazard of fighting
against God (1644). Dirck Coornhert is another. (see Gerrit Voogt, Constraint
on Trial: Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert and Religious Freedom (2000), at 118).
Also, check out the discussion on theological fallibilism in John Coffey's
Persecution and Toleration
in Protestant England 1558-1689 (Longman, 2000) at pp. 65ff.

Subject: Gamaliel: A Historical Question
I have a question for those of you who are familiar with early modern, e.g.
16th and 17th century, debates over religious toleration. Do you know of any
writers that used the story of Gamaliel as a justification for toleration. In
the NT, Gamaliel is
a Pharisee who argues against the persecution of the early Christians on the
grounds that if there work is not of God it will perish but if it is of God one
would be sinning in acting against it. Either way, the best course of action
is toleration. (See
Acts 5) I am just wondering if it was every invoked in polemics about
religious toleration.
