To the followers of the crucified Jesus,
You call it Good News.
You call it salvation, grace, freedom.
I call it ruin.
My name is Demetrius. I am a silversmith from Ephesus. I made my living—fed my children, built my home, earned my reputation—by crafting beautiful silver idols of the goddess Artemis. For years, our city thrived, and we thrived with it. The Temple of Artemis, one of the wonders of the world, stood like a crown jewel in our city. Pilgrims came from across the Empire to see her, to worship her, to buy what I made.
And then he came.
Paul.
The Apostle. The preacher. The destroyer.
