Abstract

While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply distressed to see that the city was full of idols… Then Paul stood in front of the Areopagus and said, “Athenians, I see how extremely religious you are in every way…. From one ancestor he [God] made all nations… so that they would search for God and perhaps grope for him and find him—though indeed he is not far from each one of us. For ‘In him we live and move and have our being.’”1
