View Wesley's Notes for Acts 19:27
19:27 There is danger, not only that this our craft [trade] should come into disgrace, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised - No wonder a discourse should make so deep an impression, which was edged both by interest and superstition. The great goddess was one of the standing titles of Diana. Her majesty destroyed - Miserable majesty, which was capable of being thus destroyed! Whom all Asia and the world - That is, the Roman empire, worshippeth - Although under a great variety of titles and characters. But the multitude of those that err does not turn error into truth.

I am a very biblical based person. I strongly believe in the King James Bible. I am studying to be a lawyer one of the courses I am required to take is Mythology, I do ot agree with most of the class. I write the majority of my papers using the bible to defend my responses I write in class papers.
