To the Unknown God of St. Paul - Jordan Monson

In one of the most fascinating episodes of the New Testament, the Apostle Paul finds himself sharing the message of Christ with the Athenian philosophers. He stands on the Areopagus, the same hill on which Socrates made his famous last defense—only to be executed. Socrates was executed for "corrupting the minds of the youth" by rejecting the Greek gods and being something like a monotheist. Paul also rejects the Greek gods. He's also a monotheist. And he's asked to give a defense for his faith. What does he say? In one of the most brilliant speeches in the Bible, Paul contextualizes the Christian faith not only to Athens, but to that very hill, from an event 600 years earlier. Delivered April 28th, 2019
