Thank you oh so very much for these beautiful insights!
Seems the Greeks did a whole lot of "spadework," preparing the cultural ground for the reception of Christ, just as John the Baptist prepared the pneumatic, or spiritual ground, for the eventual reception of our Lord.
Amen! The sum of your examples is a formidable body of evidence that God has always been in control, whether in Judeo/Christian cultures or pagan cultures. And He always will be moving our cultures and even our words/concepts according to His will, His end, Omega.
So we should never wring our hands, but count it all joy!
Maranatha, Jesus!

Forgive me for a petty remark: And there's not a durned thing that Richard Dawkins can do about it! God is absolutely in charge....
Thanks you so much for your kind words, dearest sister, and for this lovely post.
