Paul preaches in Athens

After being chased out of Thessalonica & Berea for preaching the good news about Jesus, the apostle Paul spent a few days in the city of Athens. While waiting he did a little sightseeing. Paul came to Athens as a sightseer and became a soul winner. Paul did not purpose to evangelize these Gentiles, but he could not help but do so when he was deeply stirred in his soul over their rampant idolatry. Paul's speech becomes a model for how to witness to the educated post-Christian mind, even as it spoke to Theophilus and his fellow seekers with their first-century pre-Christian minds; proclaiming the Gospel with Integrity (17:16-21)
