ACTS (PART 32) — PAUL AMONG THE PAGAN PHILOSOPHERS

We have been looking at Paul’s ministry in modern day Greece where has has been traveling from city to city preaching the Gospel and establishing churches. Well, after being driven by persecution out of Berea, Paul makes it to the intellectual capital of the ancient world, Athens. While there he is brought before a prominent council of philosophers on Mars Hill. The way Paul shares the Gospel with these men is by finding a “point of contact” with them before launching into Jesus and the resurrection. Some believe, some want to hear more, and others scoff. There are many important lessons we in 21st century American can learn from Paul’s time in this culture that was saturated with idolatry and pagan philosophy. Join us!
