We see the influence in a story.<br/><br/>Yet, I will say that the extra-Biblical evidence is growing more compelling. Even phrases made to Artemis are captured in the writing of 1 Timothy where Jesus is given a higher position than the goddess.

Hey Philip,

Yet, I will say that the extra-Biblical evidence is growing more compelling. Even phrases made to Artemis are captured in the writing of 1 Timothy where Jesus is given a higher position than the goddess. This includes inscriptions about birthing protection as well as Artemis being the goddess of inapproachable light.

The best part was the reference to Acts 19. I have read about Artemis and the whole cultural background multiple times but for some reason I at least do not remember Acts 19 being mentioned. Without this reference the argument has little weight I think, but it is strong to see in Acts the Ephesians being so proud of Artemis as theirs.<br/><br/>Good post. This is a key post for me.
