Christ vs Demeter: Who is the Lord of the Bread?
Sometimes we forget that the world Jesus came into and the one that the early church was raised within was very much like ours. The Gentiles were the people of a Greco-roman world.

Christians were sent out to proclaim the truth, goodness and beauty of the gospel of Jesus to a massive world of competing worldviews, ideas, values and gods.
