The Gospel in the Marketplace of Ideas: Paul's Mars Hill Experience for Our Pluralistic World

4.40 out of 5 stars

Description

In a world where diverse perspectives and beliefs coexist, Christians face the challenge of communicating their faith effectively. The apostle Paul's experience in Athens, a city teeming with different cultures, religions, and philosophies, offers valuable lessons for today's believers. As Paul navigated the complexities of ancient Athens, he encountered a rich tapestry of people, from Jews and Gentiles to slaves and elite, and a plethora of religious practices, including emperor worship and mystery religions. In this thought-provoking book, philosopher Paul Copan and New Testament scholar Kenneth Litwak delve into the cultural and religious context of Paul's iconic speech to the Athenians, as recorded in Acts 17. By exploring this pivotal episode, they provide a compelling model for Christians to engage with contemporary society, challenge the idols of our time, and point people to Christ with winsome persuasion.
