John Moles has argued that the Dionysian cult influenced early Christianity, and especially the way that Christians understood themselves as a "new" religion centered around a savior deity. In particular, he argues that the account of Christian origins in the Acts of the Apostles was heavily influenced by Euripides' The Bacchae.[1] Moles also suggests that Paul the Apostle may have partially based his account of the Lord's Supper[1 Cor 11:23–26] on the ritual meals performed by members of the Dionysian cult.[230]:96
