Acts 17-18
The Greeks in Athens had a long history of philosophical debate and thought in the centuries leading up to Jesus' birth. About the time the Israelites were coming out of exile, Socrates came on the scene as the greatest philosopher... his best student was Plato... and his best student was Aristotle... and his best student was Alexander the Great. It was into this environment that Paul stumbled upon a monument to An Unknown God... a God that Paul describes as one in whom we live and move and have our being.
