In point of theory we freely admit the probability that Paul's religious vocabulary was influenced by his Hellenic environment, and more specifically by the Mystery Religions in so far as they were a conspicuous factor in that environment. But other antecedents were influential with the apostle, and there are abundant reasons for caution against attributing too great a role to the special factor. A very exaggerated impression may be formed, as to the degree in which the Mystery Religions impinged upon the mind of Paul, by scouring the Graeco-Roman world and gathering up, through a period of several centuries, all the phrases having a semblance of Pauline usage. Such a compacting process easily lends itself to an overgrown impression.
