   First: what did the Athenians perceive Paul to be doing as he ‘dialogued’ with Jews, god-fearers and ‘those who chanced to be there’ in the Greek civic centre or Agora (17)? Luke indicates that some hearers felt he was ‘a charlatan’.1 Others said, ‘He appears to be a herald of foreign deities’. Luke explains their justification for the latter perce...

   In Acts 17there are five important affirmations about this ‘knowable’ God.

   Their attitude to popular cults was pragmatic, for it did not follow from their philosophical teaching. It has been argued that early Stoicism was opposed to the worship of idols and the erection of temples, but that in the post-Posidonius period, and certainly by the early Roman empire, it had assimilated the practices of popular piety.57It is que...

   To declare, as Paul did, that God had previously ‘overlooked’ their idolatry ‘but now called upon all men everywhere to repent’ (30–31), had political ramifications for this philosophically orientated audience in Athens. Paul explained that the ‘now’ was because God had appointed a day of judgement, a judge, and the canon of judgement. Escape from ...

   Jul 6, 2008 · Answer: Paul did meet Jesus on the road to Damascus, as recorded in Acts chapter nine. Of course, you are at least partially right because Paul was not intimately acquainted with Jesus as were the other apostles. Paul was not an apostle in the traditional sense (Acts 1:21-22).

   Was Paul a 'god' or 'gods'?

   • While the Stoics were comfortable with the inter-changeable use of the terms ‘God’ and ‘gods’, Paul would not have been.

   How can we understand Paul's apologetics aright?

   • Key to understanding Paul’s apologetics aright is an appreciation of a critical gospel truth: the true gospel was given to transform and renew not only the mind of sinful man but also the entire life of sinful man. A proper defense of the gospel, as exemplified in Galatians, should hold us accountable and bring us back to this same truth.
