📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century AD, the city of Ephesus was a thriving center for the worship of the goddess Artemis, known as Diana to the Romans, whose grand temple was a major economic and cultural hub. During Paul's missionary work in Ephesus, his preaching about Jesus threatened the local idol-making industry, leading to a riot instigated by silversmiths who feared losing their livelihood. When a Jew named Alexander attempted to address the crowd, they recognized his Jewish identity and instead chanted praises to Diana for about two hours, revealing the deep-rooted pagan devotion that resisted the spread of Christianity.
