Paul creates an alternative way for the Gentiles of Athens to think about the spiritual world. Today, this still challenges the thinking & views of a non-theological society.
Paul’s visits to Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens are powerful & fruitful in bringing more Greeks to faith.
The Second Missionary Journey continues: events at Philippi & Thessolonia, including the jailing & beating of Paul & Silas.
