Nice quote. Of course, I haven't been denying that Christianity was early "Hellenized"; on the contrary. But as the quote demonstrates, the NT itself is permeated by Greek ideas, as is Christianity as espoused by Mormons whether they know it or not. That they can't see it is one of the saddest things I could utter about Mormonism.
